Listen to any article
One click and TabListen reads the main text of the page. Menus, ads and footers are skipped. The sentence being read is highlighted, so you can follow along.
Coming soon to Chrome
Listen to any article. Or get the gist in a minute.
TabListen reads web pages aloud right in your browser. Short on time? Get a 1, 3 or 5 minute audio summary instead, and save the rest to your listen later queue.
What TabListen will do
Everything below is part of the first release.
The gist in 1, 3 or 5 minutes
Short on time? Turn a long read into a short audio summary. It keeps the facts, names and numbers from the article and adds nothing of its own.
A listen later queue
Save articles while you browse. They wait in one list and play one after another, like a playlist made of your open tabs.
Your pace, your place
Speed from 0.5x to 3x, a sleep timer, and TabListen remembers where you stopped on every page.
Built to be fair to you
Honest monthly billing
No trial that quietly turns into a yearly charge. You get a reminder before renewal and can cancel in one click.
Reading never stops mid-article
Reading aloud with the voices on your computer has no word limit. Paid extras have clear limits you can always see.
Private by default
Reading aloud happens on your computer. No text leaves your browser unless you ask for a summary, and we ask before the first time.
Free tools you can use today
No sign up, no install. Both work in your browser and never send your text anywhere.
Questions
When will TabListen launch?
We are building it now and there is no fixed date yet. Join the waitlist and you will get one email on launch day.
How much will it cost?
There will be a free plan. We will share the details and prices of the paid plan at launch.
Which browsers will it work in?
Chrome and other browsers built on Chromium, such as Microsoft Edge and Brave, on Windows, Mac, Linux and ChromeOS.
Does TabListen send what I read to a server?
Reading aloud works on your computer. Text goes to our server only when you ask for an audio summary, and only after you agree the first time. We do not keep the text once the summary is made.
What happens to my email?
We use it to send you one email when TabListen launches. We do not sell it or share it with anyone. To have it removed, write to hello@tablisten.com.
Can I try something now?
Yes. Our free Read aloud online tool reads any text you paste, right in your browser. There is also a calculator that shows how long a text takes to listen to.
