Highlight it. Hear it. Turn the words on a webpage into clear, natural-sounding speech. Highlight a passage, click the Read It button that appears, and start listening right where you are. For readers with dyslexia, people who find reading difficult or tiring, and anyone who would rather listen. Follow along with an article, listen to schoolwork, or catch up on a story while you get on with your day. LISTEN YOUR WAY • Follow along on the original page with word highlighting. • Slow down a difficult passage or speed through a longer article, from 0.5× to 3×. • Keep the player compact, or expand it to see the reading text. • Choose a light or dark player, or let it match your system. • Pick your voice and speed once. Read It, Dude remembers your preferences. CLEAR VOICES IN FIVE LANGUAGES Choose female or male voices in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean. Preview each voice to find your favorite. The included voices generate speech on your computer and work offline after activation and voice setup. A CLICK, A SHORTCUT, OR A WHOLE PAGE Use the Read It button beside your selection, the extension toolbar, or the right-click menu. Prefer the keyboard? Select text and press Ctrl+Shift+R. You can change the shortcut in Settings. For a longer listen, choose Read page text. 30 DAYS FREE. ONE PURCHASE FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD. Try every feature free for 30 days.

Optional online browser voices may send the text you choose to their provider. See our Privacy Policy for details about voices, billing, and activation. BEFORE YOU INSTALL For desktop Edge, Chrome, and Firefox on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Read It, Dude reads ordinary webpage text; browser settings, extension stores, PDFs, and some protected or embedded content are not supported. Some voices and passages may play without word highlighting. Your browser may leave the shortcut unassigned if another shortcut conflicts. The first reading may take a moment to prepare. VOICE SETUP IN GOOGLE CHROME The approximately 248 MB extension download includes the voices. After license activation, no separate voice application or model download is needed. If Chrome shows its Live Caption bubble, you can turn it off in Chrome’s Accessibility settings; Read It, Dude links to those settings.
