WebNarrator reading a webpage with a word highlighted in yellow as it speaks

Simple, small and free.

WebNarrator runs entirely in your browser. No accounts, no servers, no tracking, just fast, clean text-to-speech on every page.

Live Word Highlighting

Follow along as it reads. Each word highlights in sync with the audio, with auto-scroll to keep it in view.

One Keystroke to Play

Select text, press Option+Shift+S (mac) or Alt+Shift+S (Windows). Or use the right-click menu. Or the popup. Whatever fits your flow.

Variable Speed

Dial playback from 0.5× to 3×. Skim long articles at 2×, slow down for tricky prose.

System Voice Picker

Choose from every voice your OS ships, including multilingual options. Your pick is remembered across sessions.

Completely private

No analytics, no telemetry, no external calls. The Web Speech API does the work locally, your reading stays yours.

Coming soon to Chrome and Firefox

WebNarrator is wrapping up final review and will be available on the Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons soon.
