TTSReader
What it is
TTSReader is a text-to-speech service that reads content aloud in the browser and on mobile. You can paste text, open PDFs, DOCX, EPUB, TXT or CSV files, or enter a web page URL, then press play. It highlights the sentence being read, lets you edit while it plays, and remembers your text and position so you can pick up later. Voices come from the browser's built-in speech engine, which is free without usage limits, plus premium AI voices from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and TTSReader's own models. Premium users can mix voices for dialog and export MP3 files. There are iOS and Android apps, a Chrome extension and an API.

Editor's notes
More context from AI BirdView
TTSReader has been around since 2015, and it shows in the practical details. It remembers exactly where you stopped, highlights the sentence being spoken so your eyes can follow along, and lets you fix a typo without stopping playback. Those small comforts make it pleasant for long reading sessions, not just short clips.
- Works with pasted text, PDFs, DOCX, EPUB, TXT, CSV files and live web pages
- Free voices use the browser's own speech engine, so everyday listening costs nothing
- Premium AI voices from Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and TTSReader's own models sound more natural
- Multiple voices, languages and speeds can be mixed in one file for dialog
- Apps for iOS and Android, a Chrome extension and an API cover most setups
It is best for students, people who prefer listening to reading, readers with dyslexia or low vision, and anyone who wants to get through articles while commuting. A practical tip: try the free system voices on your device first, since quality varies by browser and operating system, then upgrade to premium only if you need more natural narration or downloadable MP3 files.
