Voix

Listen to any article, in a natural voice.

Voix reads the web to you in a natural, human-sounding voice. Open an article, press Listen, and keep doing what you were doing: walking, cooking, commuting or resting your eyes. WHAT VOIX CAN READ • Articles and web pages: Voix finds the article itself and skips menus, banners and adverts. • PDFs: opened in Chrome, embedded in a page, or saved on your computer. Scanned PDFs are read too, using text recognition. • Google Docs, Slides and Sheets. • Plain-text files, and documents shown inside online viewers. • Anything else on screen: "Read the whole page" recognises text that is drawn as an image. FOLLOW ALONG • The sentence being read is highlighted on the page and in Voix's own list, and the page scrolls with it. • Click any sentence to jump straight to it. MADE FOR LISTENING • 23 natural voices with US and UK accents. • Speed from 0.5× to 3×, without changing the pitch. • Skip back or forward a sentence, pause and resume, or minimise Voix to a small bar while it keeps reading. • Keyboard shortcut: Alt+Shift+V opens or closes Voix (change it at chrome://extensions/shortcuts). • If natural voices are unavailable, Voix switches to your device's voice so reading never stops. PRIVACY • Voix only sends text when you ask it to read: the sentences being read go to the Voix voice service to be turned into speech, and are not stored. • Pages such as email and online banking are never sent. • PDF reading and text recognition happen on your computer.
