Why not just use your browser's reader?

Your browser can turn text into speech. Vocalize understands the page first โ€” then reads only the article, summarizes it, and remembers where you stopped.

Questions, answered

Does it work on every website?

Vocalize reads virtually any text-based page โ€” news, blogs, docs, Wikipedia, and more. A handful of app-style pages with little real text aren't a fit, and you can exclude any site you don't want it on.

Can it read PDFs and EPUBs?

Yes. Open a PDF or EPUB and Vocalize reads it aloud with the same sentence highlighting โ€” ideal for research papers and e-books.

Is there a free version?

Yes โ€” Vocalize is free to install and start using, no account required. Paid plans unlock premium neural voices, every language, and higher monthly limits.

How many languages and voices are there?

Hundreds of natural neural voices across 70+ languages. Choose a different narrator per language, and adjust speed anywhere from 0.5ร— to 2ร—.

Is my data private?

Generating audio means sending the text you're listening to to our servers to synthesize the voice โ€” Vocalize doesn't track your browsing or sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for specifics.

Stop listening to ads and nav menus
