Orator — Web Narrator от Arnab Bir

Narrate web pages with natural voices, speed control, click to seek, and follow along highlighting.

Orator lets you listen to webpages and documents using natural sounding system voices with an interactive, reader controlled experience (not just “press play and hope”).

Unlike typical text to speech tools, Orator lets you jump, control, and follow along as content is spoken.

Highlights

• Click any sentence to start narration from that exact point
• Multiple system voices with a searchable voice picker
• Adjustable reading speed
• Smooth sentence by sentence highlighting
• Works on long articles, blogs, documentation, and PDFs
• Runs entirely on your device, no servers, no AI, no tracking

Privacy First by Design

Orator processes all content locally on your device using built-in browser and system speech capabilities. No text is sent to external servers. Nothing is recorded or stored remotely.

Permissions Explained

• activeTab — to read the page you explicitly activate Orator on
• scripting — to inject the narrator UI and sentence highlighting
• storage — to save your preferences (voice, speed, UI settings)

Orator is ideal for focused reading, learning, accessibility, and listening to long form content without distractions.
