Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free private reader speaks long or difficult text aloud and presents it in manageable, large-print sections without rewriting the words.

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

Field notes

The reader accepts plain text up to 50,000 characters and works inside the browser tab, where it separates dense writing into manageable parts. Users can alter type, spacing, and colors, then listen through the browser Web Speech API or print a large-text view. The page explicitly distinguishes display help from interpretation: it preserves the original wording and does not summarize or advise on medical, legal, or financial decisions.
