Description
Distraction-free reader mode for any article. Clean layout, dark mode & natural read-aloud text-to-speech. One click or Alt+R. Clean Reader turns any cluttered web page into a calm, distraction-free reader mode — then reads it aloud to you with natural text-to-speech. One click, or press Alt+R. Tired of pop-ups, cookie banners, autoplay video, and walls of ads burying the article you actually came to read? Clean Reader strips all of it and gives you just the words, in a beautiful, focused reading view. ★ WHAT IT DOES • Reader mode for any article — instantly removes ads, sidebars, comments, nav bars, and pop-ups so you can focus on the text. • Read aloud / text-to-speech — listen to any article with built-in natural voices. The current sentence is highlighted and scrolls into view as it's read. Play, pause, and stop anytime. • Dark mode, light, and sepia themes — easy on the eyes, day or night. Great for reading long articles before bed. • Adjustable text — change font size and switch between serif, sans-serif, and monospace for comfortable reading. • Remembers your settings — your theme and font choices carry across every page. • Works everywhere — news sites, blogs, research papers, documentation, Wikipedia, and more. • Private by design — everything runs locally in your browser. No account, no tracking, nothing sent to a server. ★ WHY PEOPLE USE CLEAN READER • Read articles without distractions — a true distraction-free reading mode. • Listen instead of read — turn any blog post or news story into audio for commutes, chores, or resting your eyes. • Read comfortably at night — dark reading mode reduces glare and eye strain. • Accessibility — larger text, high-contrast themes, and read-aloud support for low-vision and dyslexic readers. • Study & research — clean, printable-looking pages for papers and long-form content. ★ HOW TO USE 1. Open any article. 2. Click the Clean Reader icon (or press Alt+R) to enter reader mode. 3. Pick a theme, adjust the text, or hit "Listen" to have it read aloud. 4. Press Esc to exit — the original page is untouched. ★ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS • Alt+R — toggle reader mode • P — read aloud • Esc — exit Clean Reader is a lightweight, free reader mode and read-aloud extension.
