What You Get • 📖 Read-along highlighting: A floating reader overlay syncs sentence-by-sentence with the audio, so you absorb far more than listening alone. • 🖱️ One-click audio: Navigate to any page, click the extension, press play. That's it. • 🎚️ In-page mini player: Play/pause, skip, and scrub right on the page, without reopening the extension. • 📝 Two reading modes: "Full article" reads the whole thing. "Summary" gives you the key points, which works just as well on a long PDF as on a news story. • 🗣️ Natural voices: Choose the voice that's easiest for you to listen to. • 🌍 15 languages: Listen in English, or translate into Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Persian, Portuguese (European & Brazilian), French, German, Hindi, Russian, Japanese, Romanian, Dutch, or Papiamento. • 📄 Smart PDF extraction: Paste a PDF URL and Word2Talk pulls clean text, automatically stripping headers, footnotes, and page numbers. • ⚡ Adjustable speed: 0.5x to 2.0x playback. Set the pace that works for you. • 🔊 Background playback: Audio keeps going when you switch tabs or minimize your browser. • 📚 Your listening library: Every article is saved to your dashboard at word2talk.com, so you can pick up exactly where you left off on any device, with full replay, progress tracking, and reading streaks. • ⏱️ Time-saved stats: See exactly how much reading time you've reclaimed by listening instead. • 🔒 Privacy-first: We never track your browsing. Only the articles you choose to convert are saved to your private library. 💰 Simple Pricing • Your first 10 minutes are free with an account.
