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.

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.
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.
