Say hi to Robin
Meet Robin. Open any article or PDF, press play, and he reads it aloud in a warm, natural voice while the words follow along.
The demo runs right here in your browser. No install, no account, no card.
That's Loudr's real voice reading a real page. Add it and it reads any article you open.
Paste in anything you have been meaning to read. Robin reads it out in a real neural voice and follows along, word by word.
The extension reads any article or PDF in this same voice, follows along on the page itself, and remembers where you stopped.
Reads in Ava, the same neural voice the extension uses. Your text is sent to the voice service to be spoken, and is not stored.
Built for people who read a lot and want their eyes back.
Everything you need to turn the web, and your PDFs, into something you listen to.
Dozens of natural, expressive voices in 40+ languages, and you can hear any of them on a sample before you choose. Not a robot from 2009.
The current sentence and word light up in time with the audio, so it is easy to keep your place or read along.
Open a PDF and press play. Loudr turns it into a clean reading view, and reads scanned or image-only PDFs too using on-device text recognition. Nothing is uploaded.
Skip ahead or go back by clicking straight on the text. No scrubbing, no fiddling with a timeline.
Come back to any page or PDF and Loudr picks up at the exact sentence you stopped on. Reading, but bookmarked.
No account and no tracking. Nothing you read is stored, and system voices never leave your device.
One click from the Web Store. No sign up to get going.
Hit the toolbar icon or press Alt+R on any page.
Rest your eyes, do the dishes, or read along at your pace.
System voices are free forever. Natural voices come with a daily allowance, and Pro makes them unlimited.
Everything you need to listen every day.
Every natural voice, unlimited. About $2.42 a month, billed yearly.
Yes. Reading with your system voices is unlimited and always free, with no account. Natural voices have a generous daily allowance on the free plan, and Pro makes them unlimited.
Loudr uses high quality neural voices, the same kind of technology behind modern read aloud features. They carry real intonation and rhythm instead of the flat, robotic sound of older text to speech.
Loudr reads articles, blog posts, docs, and most text on the open web. Open a page, press play, or select a passage and choose read selection.
Yes. Open a PDF and press play, and Loudr lays it out as a clean reading view and reads it aloud with the same highlighting. Text PDFs work, and scanned or image-only PDFs are read using on-device text recognition, so even a scanned document reads aloud. Nothing is uploaded.
It does. Come back to a page or PDF and Loudr picks up at the exact sentence you stopped on, with a one tap option to start over.
There are no accounts and no tracking, and nothing you read is stored. System voices are processed entirely on your device. For natural voices, only the sentence being spoken is sent to the voice service, and only while you are listening.
Pro is $29 a year, or $4.99 a month, or $79 once for lifetime with no renewals. There is no separate free trial because the free plan already lets you try natural voices every day, so you know exactly what you are getting before you pay.
Paste something in and hear how it sounds. Robin reads your articles and PDFs the same way, every day.
