About

OUTTLOUD — READ THE WEB ALOUD | TEXT TO SPEECH CHROME EXTENSION

Turn any webpage into audio. Outtloud is a read-aloud Chrome extension that lets you listen to articles, blogs, news, documentation, research papers, newsletters, and long-form content with natural AI text-to-speech (TTS) voices—directly in your browser.

Outtloud is also available on the Web, App store and Play store.

If you want a Speechify-style experience for the open web but unlimited listening and 100% natural sounding voices, Outtloud helps you read the internet aloud without copying text into another app. Press play on the full page, or click any paragraph to listen from that spot.

WHAT OUTTLOUD DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Outtloud extracts readable text from the page you’re on and reads it aloud with low-latency streaming speech synthesis. It’s built for real-world reading: news sites, Substacks, Wikipedia, docs, essays, forums, and everyday web articles.

• Listen to this page — one click to start reading the entire article aloud
• Paragraph play — click any paragraph to listen from that section
• Natural AI voices — high-quality natural-sounding voices
• Word highlighting — follow along as each word is spoken (karaoke-style reading)
• Auto-scroll — keeps the active paragraph centered on screen
• Playback controls — play, pause, skip ±10 seconds, speed adjustment
• Side panel + mini player — control listening without leaving the page
• Gapless streaming — smooth paragraph-to-paragraph playback

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

KEY FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

READ ALOUD ANY WEBSITE
Works on most readable pages. Outtloud finds article-style content—paragraphs, headings, lists—and reads it with streaming TTS instead of robotic batch playback.

PARAGRAPH-LEVEL CONTROL
Don’t want the whole page? Click a paragraph’s listen button and start exactly where you need. Great for skimming, revisiting sections, or jumping into long guides.

NATURAL AI VOICES 
Powered by advanced AI text-to-speech for human-like narration. Choose from multiple high quality voices including Eve, Ayra, Sal, Kia, and Lee—pick the voice that fits your content.

WORD-BY-WORD HIGHLIGHTING
Stay synced with the narration. Active words and paragraphs are highlighted so you can read and listen at the same time—ideal for language learning, proofreading, and comprehension.

SPEED CONTROL
Adjust playback speed to match your preference— slower for dense material, faster for review and recap.

MINI PLAYER ON THE PAGE
A compact floating player stays on the page for quick play/pause and skip without opening the side panel.

AUTO-SCROLL
Optional auto-scroll follows the current paragraph and keeps it centered—perfect for long reads and accessibility workflows.

SIDE PANEL CONTROLS
Open Outtloud from the Chrome toolbar for voice selection, speed, transport controls, and page listening options—similar to premium read-aloud tools you already know.

STREAMING PERFORMANCE
Outtloud uses persistent WebSocket streaming for efficient, low-latency speech generation—designed for seamless listening across paragraphs without unnecessary delays.
