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.
