Speecho – Read Aloud Text-to-Speech

Tracking since Jun 3, 2026.

Changelog

• Jun 8, 2026
  description

  Speecho reads web pages aloud in a natural, neural voice — and it does it entirely on your device. No cloud text-to-speech, no account required to start, and the text you read never leaves your browser.
  
  Most "read aloud" tools send your page text to a server to generate speech. Speecho doesn't. It runs a neural TTS engine (Piper/VITS) locally in your browser using WebAssembly, so your reading stays completely private — and it keeps working offline once a voice is downloaded.
  
  FREE
  • Read the whole page or just your selection
  • Natural neural voice (Amy, US English)
  • Play / pause / stop and adjustable speed
  • 100% on-device — private and offline
  
  PREMIUM — $2.99/month or $29.99/year (7-day free trial)
  • 16 neural voices across 9 languages: English (US & UK), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Russian, and Chinese
  • Read-along highlighting with auto-scroll — follow along as it reads
  • Sentence navigation — skip back/forward and click any sentence to start reading from there
  • Higher-quality voices
  
  PRIVATE BY DESIGN
  • The text you read is synthesized on your device and never transmitted
  • No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no backend server
  • Voices download once from the open-source HuggingFace "piper-voices" library and are cached for offline use
  • Subscriptions are handled by ExtensionPay/Stripe — we never see your payment details
  
  Great for articles, documentation, research, language learning, proofreading your own writing, and accessibility.
