Article Audio Read Select

Article Audio is a read aloud Chrome extension powered by text-to-speech (TTS) AI voices. Read articles aloud, listen to docs, emails, and webpages — the best text-to-speech reader for Chrome.

> WHY ARTICLE AUDIO?

Most text-to-speech tools sound robotic and unnatural. Article Audio is different. Our TTS engine uses the latest AI voice models that sound like real humans reading to you. Natural pacing, proper intonation, and voices you'll actually want to listen to. No more cringing at awkward pronunciations or monotone delivery.

> HOW IT WORKS — READ ANY ARTICLE ALOUD IN 3 STEPS

1. Select any text on any webpage
2. Press Shift+Tab
3. Listen with the floating audio player

That's it. No menus to navigate, no buttons to click, no context menus to dig through. Just select and listen.
