BookVoice - Natural Read Aloud

Reads web pages and ebooks aloud with a natural neural voice (Kokoro TTS). Runs 100% locally on your GPU.

Tired of robotic read-aloud voices? BookVoice reads any web page, article, or online ebook (EPUB viewers like EBSCO, library readers, documentation) with a genuinely natural neural voice — powered by the open-source Kokoro AI voice model running entirely on YOUR device. WHY BOOKVOICE • 7 natural voices (US & UK, male & female) • Adjustable reading speed (0.5x – 2x) without chipmunk pitch • Live follow-along: the sentence being read is highlighted in blue, the word being spoken in yellow, and the page scrolls automatically • Read the whole page, or select a passage to read just that part • Works inside ebook viewers that use iframes (EBSCO and similar library readers) PRIVATE BY DESIGN • 100% local: nothing you read ever leaves your computer • No account, no API keys, no telemetry • Free forever • Works offline after the one-time voice model download (~330 MB) • Uses your GPU (WebGPU) when available, falls back to CPU automatically. GETTING STARTED 1. Open any article or ebook 2. Click the BookVoice icon 3. Pick a voice and press "Read page" The first use downloads the voice model once (progress is saved — safe to interrupt). After that, reading starts within seconds. NOTE Chrome's built-in PDF viewer cannot be read by extensions; use a book's EPUB/HTML view. Ebook viewers load one section at a time, so start each new chapter when the previous one finishes.
