About Audister
Audister is a Google Chrome extension that reads web pages, articles, news, and textbooks aloud with human-like, natural AI voices that run entirely on your computer.
Unlike other text-to-speech extensions, Audister processes your articles locally on your CPU or GPU. We don't track your reading history, require accounts, or upload your text to remote servers.
Beta Testing Phase: Audister is currently running a private tester release. If you are a registered beta tester, please refer to your invitation email for the direct installation link.
Key Features
- Local AI Speech Generation: High-quality, natural-sounding voices powered on-device (via Kokoro-82M).
- Continuous Queue: Add links and pages to your playlist for hands-free listening.
- Smart Skip Extraction: Automatically cleans up clutter, bypassing cookie warnings, ads, and header navigation elements.
- MP3 Exports: Generate local audio files in one click to listen offline.
- Sentence Highlights: Follow along dynamically on the page as the voice reads.
Privacy Policy & Disclosures
Your privacy is our core promise. We operate under strict data safety practices:
- On-Device Synthesis: All article extraction and text-to-speech generation are performed locally in your browser. Your reading data never leaves your computer.
- Checkout Isolation: ExtensionPay handles our Pro billing. The ExtensionPay content script runs only on extensionpay.com checkout pages. License state queries do not share article text.
- Optional Cloud Integration (BYO Keys): Advanced users can optionally connect their own OpenAI, Google, or ElevenLabs keys. If activated, text is sent directly to your chosen provider, governed by their API terms.
