Spokn
Free offline TTS for Chrome — word-by-word highlighting
Spokn reads any webpage aloud with word-by-word highlighting — like Speechify, but free and fully offline. Uses your device's built-in voices. No cloud, no API key, no account. Nothing leaves your browser. • 9 highlight color themes • Click any paragraph to start from that point • Draggable floating toolbar • Speed 0.5x–3x with reading time estimate • Fixes Chrome's 15-second TTS cutoff bug • Open source (MIT) — 53.66KiB total
I wanted to listen to articles without paying for Speechify. Every free option I tried either had no word highlighting, broke on long text, or both. So I built my own.
It's 53.66KiB. No account, no tracking, works offline. MIT licensed so you can see exactly what it does.
If something doesn't work or you want something added, let me know.
