Enter your API key and their voices appear in the list — you pay the provider directly, and the key stays in this browser. 🔒 PRIVACY It voices only the page you ask it to — an audio text reader free of ads, trackers and data selling. No browsing history tracking, no ad profiles. Permissions stay at the minimum a text to speech extension needs. Neural voices are computed on your device: the page is never uploaded, and a downloaded voice reads with the network off. ❓ QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q: How is it different from Google text to speech? A: The Google text-to-speech engine handles plain pages only; this text to speech app adds content detection, highlighting and hotkeys. People also look for it as google text to voice or tts google — same job, done on any page. Q: Do I need a separate text to speech download? A: No, just add the extension and it is ready. Q: Can I listen to a selected fragment? A: Yes — highlight it, then press Play. Q: Can it read text in another language? A: Yes — the ai reader detects the language and picks a matching voice. Q: Will it stop in the middle of a long article? A: No — a long read is finished to the end. Q: Does it work offline? A: Device voices do; cloud voices need a connection. 🚀 GET STARTED Add Sonora to Chrome, open an article and press Play. A text to speech reader for people who would rather listen than scroll.
