Description

Listen to PDFs with natural text-to-speech. Highlights sentences & words as you read. Perfect for research papers and dyslexia. Turn any PDF document into a personal audiobook instantly! "Read PDF Aloud: PDF Text to Speech & Voice Reader" is a powerful, lightweight, 100% private, and registration-free Chrome extension designed to read your PDF files out loud. With zero signup friction, no email harvesting, and no account creation, you can start listening instantly. This tool acts as an offline PDF voice reader and document speaker, using advanced spatial parsing and your operating system's native text-to-speech (TTS) engine to provide a seamless, distraction-free reading experience. Whether you are an academic reading dense research papers, a student going through textbooks, a professional reviewing long contracts, or someone with dyslexia or ADHD looking for an ADHD-friendly reader, this extension is built for you. --- 💡 THE ULTIMATE SECURE OFFLINE TTS READER If you are tired of expensive subscriptions or cloud readers that upload your private documents, this extension is the perfect, secure, and completely offline text-to-speech alternative. Get premium-grade features like word highlighting and intelligent multi-column parsing without any recurring costs. --- 🚀 KEY FEATURES: 1. Intelligent Spatial Sorting (Multi-Column Support) Tired of PDF readers that read across the entire page, mixing columns together? Our advanced algorithm automatically detects two-column grids (common in scientific journals, arXiv, and JSTOR papers) and reads them column-by-column in the correct order. 2. Bimodal Reading (Word & Sentence Highlight) Boost your reading comprehension and speed. The extension highlights the active sentence in amber and the currently spoken word in blue with an underline. This simultaneous visual and auditory feedback (bimodal reading) is scientifically proven to assist readers with dyslexia, ADHD, or learning disabilities. 3. 100% Private & Secure (Completely Offline) Your data belongs to you. Unlike cloud-based TTS readers, our extension processes all PDF parsing and voice synthesis locally in your browser. Zero data leaves your computer, making it completely safe for confidential business documents, legal contracts, and private drafts. 4. Smart "Clutter" Filtering Save time by skipping the noise. The extension automatically filters out page numbers, running headers, and footers, letting you focus strictly on the core content. 5. Full Playback Control Easily pause, resume, stop, or skip between sentences. You can adjust the reading speed from 0.5x up to 3.0x to match your comfort level. 6. Beautiful Premium Interface Enjoy a dark-mode friendly, clean, and modern reader interface inspired by premium e-readers. Easily switch between pages using the interactive sidebar index. 7. No Registration or Account Required We respect your privacy and time. There are no signups, no mandatory accounts, and no emails to provide. Install the extension, upload your document, and start listening immediately with zero friction. --- 📖 WHO IS IT FOR? • Students & Researchers: Listen to textbooks and arXiv papers while multitasking or resting your eyes. • Dyslexic & ADHD Readers: Leverage sentence and word highlighting to eliminate reading fatigue and improve focus. • Professionals (Lawyers, Analysts, Managers): Turn legal documents, specifications, and reports into audio on the go. • Language Learners: Listen to English PDFs to master correct pronunciation and intonation. --- 🔒 FREE VS PRO VERSION: • FREE: Read up to 3 pages of any PDF document with full layout support, highlighting, and speed controls. • PRO ($9.99 Lifetime Deal): Unlimited pages, lifetime access, no recurring subscription fees, and future feature updates. 💡 Important Voice Quality & Privacy Notice: Since this extension runs 100% locally on your computer to guarantee absolute privacy (we do not upload your documents to cloud servers), it uses the text-to-speech engines installed on your operating system (Windows/macOS/Chrome OS). You can install high-quality natural-sounding voices (Natural Voices) for free in your system settings, and they will automatically show up in this extension. How to use: 1.
