A free browser-based reader that speaks pasted text aloud and presents it in manageable, large-print sections.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

Text is entered directly into a plain-text field capped at 50,000 characters, then divided into one manageable part at a time without changing the original wording. Presentation controls cover type, spacing, color, listening, and large-text printing. The page identifies the browser Web Speech API as its speech mechanism and notes that some devices may use their own online voice service. Its design references cognitive-accessibility, WCAG text-spacing, and large-print guidance rather than claiming formal certification.
