Voq
What it is
Voq is a text-to-speech browser extension for Chrome that turns web pages into audio. After installing it, you can have an article read from start to finish, jump to a specific section through a structured reading panel, or select any passage and play it with one click. Words are highlighted as they are spoken, which helps readers follow along. The extension handles dozens of languages and works on AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, as well as forums like Reddit and Hacker News. No sign-up is required. Listening is free within a daily budget, and an inexpensive subscription removes the daily cap while keeping the same voice.

Editor's notes
More context from AI BirdView
Voq keeps text-to-speech refreshingly simple. There is no account to create and no dashboard to learn: you install the extension, open a page, and press play. What makes it especially handy today is its attention to AI chat interfaces, so long answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity can be heard instead of skimmed.
- Natural AI voice is the same on the free and paid tiers, so paying only removes the daily listening cap.
- Word-by-word highlighting helps with focus and makes it easier to follow dense technical text.
- A structured reading panel lets you skip straight to the section you care about instead of listening from the top.
- One-click playback of selected text works well for quick checks on forums like Reddit, Hacker News or Stack Overflow.
- Dozens of languages are supported for readers who browse in more than one language.
Voq suits students, researchers and anyone who reads a lot in the browser and wants to rest their eyes or listen while multitasking. A practical tip: the company says early subscribers keep their founding rate as long as they stay subscribed, so if you already rely on it daily, locking in the lower price early is worth considering.
