Overview

Read any web page aloud with 100% on-device TTS. Private, fast, free.

readit.dev is a free Chrome extension that reads web pages, documents, and books aloud with natural on-device Text-to-Speech (TTS). Powered 100% locally by the Supertonic AI engine (WebGPU/WASM), it delivers instant playback and total privacy. ✨ Key Features: • Smart Content Extraction: Automatically extracts article content while stripping away ads, sidebars, and clutter. • Multi-format Document Support: Read web pages, Google Docs, PDF documents, and EPUB e-books (with smart chapter chaining and auto-resume). • Word-level Highlighting: Real-time synchronized highlighting with smart centering and smooth auto-scrolling. • 100% On-device & Private: Runs completely in your browser via WebGPU/WASM. Your text is never sent to any server. • MP3 Audio Export: Export any reading session directly to an MP3 file for offline listening on any device. • Custom Pronunciation Dictionary: Define custom pronunciation rules for acronyms, technical terms, or foreign words. • Playlist Queue: Line up multiple articles or documents for uninterrupted continuous playback. • System Media & Shortcut Controls: Control playback via customizable keyboard shortcuts and hardware media keys (keyboard/headset). • Nostalgic Themes: Choose from modern sleek styles or retro player skins like Winamp and Windows Media Player 12. 📖 How to Use: 1. Read Current Web Page / Article: - Open any web page or article. - Click the readit.dev icon in your toolbar (or use keyboard shortcut) and hit "Play". 2. Read Selected Text: - Highlight any text on a page. - Click the quick floating button or right-click and select "Read with readit.dev". 3.

Read EPUB, PDF & Google Docs: - For PDF / EPUB: Open the Document Reader from the extension menu/Side Panel, pick a file from your computer, and enjoy chapter-by-chapter reading with position memory. - For Google Docs: Open your doc tab and click "Play" to extract and read plain text instantly. 5. Manage Playlist Queue: - Open Side Panel, click "+ Add current tab" or right-click any link and select "Add to Queue". - Click "Play Queue" for continuous hands-free listening. 6. Export MP3 & Settings: - Export MP3: Click the download/export icon on the player to save audio locally. - Custom Voices & Pronunciation: Open Settings to adjust speech speed, switch voice styles/themes, and configure your custom pronunciation dictionary. 🔒 Privacy First: All speech synthesis and text parsing happen entirely on your local machine. readit.dev never collects, stores, or transmits what you read.
