Show HN: ReadAloud – on-device, podcast-quality text-to-speech in the browser

https://tryreadaloud.com
4•DmitryDolgopolo•1h ago
Hi HN,

Dima here. Super excited to launch ReadAloud!

We built a Chrome extension that brings state-of-the-art text-to-speech to your browser. (for free!)

The existing options forced a bad choice: the browser's built-in voices are unlistenable, and the products with good voices charge $29/month. This price made sense when quality TTS was expensive to run—it *isn't* anymore.

We’re using the latest models that work on-device. All of it works on top of a super intuitive UI that never gets in the way.

Here’s a quick demo: tryreadaloud.com

ReadAloud is *free forever* at up to 2x speed. $6/month gets you up to 3.5x and upgraded voices first (coming very soon).

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/readaloud/lblodplhe...

Would love to hear feedback on how we could make it better!
