Why PageNarrator

A focused reader for webpages, PDFs, and private listening

On-device privacy

AI voices run on-device. Extraction and narration run in the browser. Model files download from Hugging Face, and PDFs may be fetched from their original URL; PageNarrator does not send reading content, URLs, or history to PageNarrator servers.

Clean article extraction

PageNarrator identifies readable content, skips page clutter, and builds a transcript you can navigate by section while audio plays.

PDF read aloud

Pro includes PDF extraction and a PDF viewer with synchronized highlighting, so research papers and long reports are easier to follow.

Floating controls and pop-out player

Pro remembers reading position, unlocks custom highlight styling, 3x speed, and adjustable section pauses, shows floating controls while the side panel is minimized, and adds a pop-out player window for long-form sessions.

No monthly subscription

The launch Pro license is a one-time lifetime deal for current Pro features and future Pro updates.

Free daily reads

Start with 5 smart page reads per day plus unlimited selected-text reading, then upgrade when the workflow proves useful.

FAQ

Common questions before installing

Does PageNarrator send my reading content to the cloud?

No. Extraction and narration run in the browser. Model files download from Hugging Face, and PDFs may be fetched from their original URL; PageNarrator does not send reading content, URLs, or history to PageNarrator servers. AI voices run on-device.

Can PageNarrator read PDFs aloud?

Yes. PageNarrator Pro includes PDF extraction and a PDF viewer with synchronized highlighting.

Is PageNarrator a subscription?

No. PageNarrator Pro is sold as a one-time launch lifetime license for current Pro features and future Pro updates.

Why does setup download a voice model?

PageNarrator downloads the AI voice model once for Kokoro voice use and caches it in your browser. The Kokoro model is about 300 MB and model files download from Hugging Face. AI voices run on-device. Minimum requirements are Chromium 120+, 500 MB of free browser storage, and 4 GB RAM; 8 GB RAM and WebGPU-capable graphics are recommended for smoother AI voices. Without WebGPU, PageNarrator uses CPU/WASM mode and synthesis can be slower.

Which browsers are supported?

PageNarrator is compatible with Google Chrome™ and other Chromium-based desktop browsers version 120 or newer.
