Overview

Listen to any web page. Click a spot to start reading from there, follow along with highlighting, and pick up where you left off.

Lumotext reads any web page aloud and highlights each sentence and word as it's spoken, so your eyes stay on the line instead of drifting. It's built for reading better, not for tuning out: the voice sets the pace, the highlight holds your place. READ ANY PAGE, IN PLACE • A small player sits on the page you already have open. No copying, no second tab. • Hover or click any paragraph to start reading from exactly there. • Three levels of highlighting at once: the paragraph, the sentence, and the current word. • Right-click any selection and choose "Read selection with Lumotext." • Picks up where you left off on each page. WORKS WHERE YOU ACTUALLY READ Articles, blogs, documentation, emails, online documents, encyclopedia pages and AI chat conversations. Lumotext finds the main text on the page and reads it as whole sentences, even when it's broken up by links and formatting. IMMERSIVE MODE One click strips away navigation, sidebars, cookie banners and "related stories," and leaves the article in a clean, distraction-free column at the text size you want. The voice reads just the article, not the clutter. A copy button grabs the clean text. YOUR VOICES, YOUR DEVICE • Uses the voices your computer already has, including the high-quality voices built into your operating system. • Speech is generated by your browser. The text you read is never sent to Lumotext's servers. • Voices that are synthesized online by your browser's maker are clearly labelled, so you always know. • Adjustable speed, from slow and careful to fast skimming. FREE, NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Install it and press play. No sign-up, no card, no character limit. A free, optional account lets you save pages to your library at lumotext.com, where you can also read PDFs and EPUBs aloud with the same highlighting, and keep your place across devices. HELPFUL FOR • Readers with dyslexia or ADHD who lose their place in long text • Students working through articles, papers and study material • Anyone who reads a lot on screen and wants to stay focused • Proofreading your own writing by hearing it read back Settings live in the browser's side panel, or on the page if you prefer.
