VoiceReader turns any web page into audio. Hit play and it reads the article aloud in natural voices, highlighting each sentence and picking up where you left off. It reads the article, not the menus and sidebars. Free forever on your browser's own voices: no API key, no account, nothing leaves your computer. Optional neural voices are pay-as-you-go, never a subscription. Built it because every read-aloud tool I tried wanted a subscription, a sign-up, or my browsing history.
Hey Product Hunt π I'm the maker.
I read a lot on screens and my eyes were done by 9pm, so I built the page-reader I actually wanted: hit play, it reads the article in a natural voice with the current sentence highlighted, and picks up where you left off.
Two things I cared about: no sign-up (install and press play) and privacy β the free tier uses your browser's own voices entirely on-device, so nothing leaves your computer to read a page aloud. Premium neural voices are pay-as-you-go credit packs, never a subscription.
Would genuinely love feedback on the voices, and on where this would be most useful for you β commute, accessibility, language learning? Happy to answer anything.

The "reads the article, not the menus" detail is such a thoughtful piece of craft. Sounds like you actually use it yourself.

@safiyeodeuΒ Thank you, that means a lot π Yeah β it started as a scratch-my-own-itch thing. The menu/sidebar noise was the dealbreaker for me with every other reader; hearing "Home Β· About Β· Subscribe Β· Cookie settings" before the actual article drove me up the wall. So it hunts down the real content block and reads that. Curious β do you listen to articles while doing something else, or read along with the highlight? I keep going back and forth on which mode to optimize for.
