What is VoiceRead AI
Listen to any webpage text using AI voices. Capture text + screenshots for later. 100% offline after setup. VoiceRead AI turns any selected text into natural-sounding speech — directly in your browser, with no internet connection required after the initial model download.
Unlike cloud-based text-to-speech tools, VoiceRead AI runs the AI voice model entirely on your device. Your text never leaves your computer. No API keys, no monthly fees, no usage limits on licensed accounts.
───────────────────────────────────── WHY VOICEREAD AI? ─────────────────────────────────────
✦ 100% OFFLINE AFTER SETUP The AI model downloads once (~50 MB) and then works forever without internet. Read on flights, in low-connectivity areas, or anywhere you care about privacy.
🎧 NATURAL AI VOICES High-quality voices powered by on-device neural TTS models. Choose from multiple voices and set your preferred playback speed.
📖 READ MODE FOR LONG ARTICLES Open Read Mode to get a clean, distraction-free view of any article. Adjust the font size and switch between dark and light themes for comfortable reading. Hit Capture All to send the entire article to your audio library in one click — no text selection needed.

📚 CAPTURE FOR LATER Found a long article but don't have time to listen now? Hit Capture — VoiceRead AI converts it to audio in the background while you browse. Play back already-converted chunks while conversion is still running, or revisit the full audio any time from the dashboard.
🎙 FLOATING MINI PLAYER A small in-page player appears while reading. Play, pause, seek, and adjust speed without switching tabs.
🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. No cloud processing. No data collection. Audio is generated on your device and stored locally in your browser.
✦ ONE-TIME PAYMENT Pay once, use forever. No subscription, no renewal. Licensed on up to 2 devices.
