Playtext

What is Playtext?

Playtext is a text-to-speech app that turns articles, PDFs, books, and emails into audio so you can listen while reading along. Simultaneous reading and listening can improve comprehension and retention, with adjustable playback speed up to four times your normal reading pace. Text is read aloud by AI-generated, human-like voices in a distraction-free environment with keyboard shortcuts. The app supports multiple languages and is designed for accessibility, including support for people with dyslexia and other learning differences.

Add content through the Chrome extension or by copying and pasting text directly into the app, then gradually train yourself to read at faster speeds.
