Audister

Your private, on-device read-aloud assistant.

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.

Install from Chrome Web Store

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.
100% Secure & Private

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.
