Listen to the web.
Your way.
A free, open-source Firefox extension that reads any webpage aloud with premium AI voices and real-time word-level highlighting.
The Future of Web Reading
Technology has transformed how we consume information. With advances in artificial intelligence and text-to-speech, listening to the web feels natural.
Everything you need to listen to the web
Premium voices, real-time highlighting, and total privacy — no compromises.
Premium AI Voices
Choose from OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Groq, Cartesia, or your browser's built-in voices. Bring your own API key or use managed credits.
Word-Level Highlighting
Follow along as Proso highlights each word in real-time. Never lose your place, even on long articles.
Smart Text Extraction
Automatically detects article content, strips ads and navigation clutter. Or select exactly what you want to hear.
Privacy by Design
API keys stored locally in your browser. No telemetry, no tracking, no data collection. Open-source code you can audit.
