About this tool
Designed for the moment you need a document changed quickly and privately. Read PDF documents aloud in your browser: synchronized sentence highlighting, voice/rate/pitch controls, and script export — Fully local. Processing runs locally in your browser's memory — the document is never transmitted, and closing the tab clears it completely. The workflow is deliberately short: load the file, choose the options on the page, run the operation, and save the result. Every choice is applied before the file is written, so re-running with different settings takes seconds. Practical limits apply (see the on-page limits); it pairs well with the related tools linked beside this page when one step is not the whole job. Key facts — Processing: runs entirely in your browser, client-side; Access: free with no account required; File limits: see the on-page limits; Privacy: the file never leaves the device.

FAQ
Does this require an internet connection or upload my file?
No. It runs completely locally via your browser's Web Speech API and native OS speech synthesis engine; it works offline and never uploads your document.
Can I export the audio to a file?
Audio export isn't supported directly (the browser speech API doesn't expose audio data). You can export the paginated reading script (.txt) instead.
Can I adjust speech rate, pitch, and choose different voices?
Yes. Select from system-installed male and female voices across languages, with granular speed (0.5x–2.0x) and pitch controls for a personalized listening experience.
Does reading include synchronized karaoke text highlighting and seek-on-click?
Features sentence-by-sentence karaoke highlighting. Clicking any paragraph instantly jumps playback to that point for seamless review.
Does it handle foreign language papers and technical terms naturally?
Yes. Multilingual support includes English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese, leveraging modern OS synthetic voices for natural pacing.
