Reading shouldn’t cost you your evening
Read It To Me turns the web into something you listen to — in the language you actually think in.
Most of the world works in English and thinks in something else
You read a long article in your second language and it charges you a toll every paragraph — a little attention, a little speed, a little of the meaning. By evening your eyes are spent and the queue is still there.
The free voices are Google’s
Speaking a page costs us nothing. The free voices are Google’s in Chrome and Microsoft’s in Edge, and your browser sends the text straight to them, not through our servers. That’s why reading has no word cap, no account and no meter — and why a company paying per word for cloud voices can’t match it without breaking its own margin.
What you read doesn’t come to us
To speak a paragraph, your browser sends it straight to the voice service — Google in Chrome, Microsoft in Edge. The page you're listening to is not uploaded to us, logged or sold. Turn on a premium AI voice with your own key, and the text goes straight to the provider you picked, not through our servers.
No investors. No growth team.
Nobody upstairs needs this quarter to look good, so nothing gets bolted on to move a number. The roadmap is what readers ask for, in the order they ask for it.
You write, a person answers
No ticket queue, no bot, no “your request is important to us”. Say what page you were on — that’s usually enough to find it. hello@readittome.app
One job, done properly
Read It To Me reads. Web pages, PDFs, Google Docs, Word, Kindle, EPUB, email — in a side panel that stays out of your way, with bookmarks and quotes that follow you between machines.
It doesn’t write your emails, clone your voice, generate podcasts or run your meetings. Those are real products and other companies build them well. Every hour we don’t spend on them goes into the thing you actually came for: listening to long text without friction.
Where a bigger tool wins
Desktop Chrome only — no phone app. No voice cloning. A tighter voice library than Speechify’s thousand. If one of those is what you came for, take the bigger tool; we lay out the comparison honestly on the vs Speechify page, and we’ll tell you when they’re the better answer.
What you get instead: no paywall in the middle of a sentence, no trial that turns into a charge, no card to cancel later, and reading that stays free.
Add to Chrome — it's free
