swrdfish/narro
Reads any web page aloud in natural AI voices, from cloud or local models. Supports Kindle Cloud Reader.
Narro is a Chrome extension that reads web pages aloud with sentence highlighting and a floating player. It supports many text-to-speech engines: cloud providers like OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Gemini using your own API key, or fully in-browser models (Kokoro, Piper, Supertonic, Kitten TTS) that run offline with no account, plus Kindle Cloud Reader support.
Why now: It was just launched as a 'Show HN' post demonstrating reading web pages and Kindle books using local, on-device AI voices — the local/offline TTS angle is the talking point.
Who it is for: People who want articles or Kindle books read aloud — e.g. commuters, readers with visual fatigue, or privacy-minded users who prefer local TTS over cloud services.
