Audessa - Text-to-Speech Reader

About

Audessa turns articles into audio with a simple floating text-to-speech player.

Open an article, click Audessa, and listen while you work, walk, clean, or take a break from the screen. Audessa extracts the main article text, removes page clutter, and reads it aloud using browser text-to-speech voices.

Features:
- Read the current article aloud
- Floating playback controls
- Play, pause, skip, and restart
- Adjustable reading speed
- Voice selection
- Reading support tools, including larger text and high contrast
- No account required for Chrome reading

Audessa is designed for people who want to keep up with articles without staying tied to the screen.

The current Chrome extension reads the article you are viewing. A mobile listening queue is planned for a future release.
