## 概览

Whisper Text Reader is a lightweight Chrome extension that turns highlighted web text into spoken audio using the OpenAI Whisper API. You supply your own OpenAI API key, pick a voice in the popup, then right-click any selection and choose "Read this text aloud."

## 定价与套餐

Free extension. You pay only for the OpenAI API usage that your own API key incurs.

## 关键功能与能力

- **Right-click read-aloud:** Highlight any text on a web page, right-click, and pick "Read this text aloud" to hear it spoken immediately — no copy-and-paste into another app.
- **Selectable Whisper voices:** The extension supports several Whisper voices that you choose from the popup, so you can match the tone to the content.
- **Bring-your-own API key:** The extension is a thin client for the OpenAI Whisper API and is billed at OpenAI's standard API rates rather than a separate monthly fee.
- **Minimal data footprint:** The extension requests no broad data collection and declares that your data is not sold or shared for unrelated purposes.
- **Lightweight install:** At under 100 KB it installs instantly and stays out of the way until you invoke the context menu.

## 主要用例

- **Listen to long articles (Students and researchers):** Students and lifelong learners can listen to articles and reference pages while taking notes or commuting, instead of reading every paragraph on screen.
- **Assistive reading (Accessibility users):** People with dyslexia, low vision, or reading fatigue can hear highlighted passages spoken, making dense web content easier to get through.
- **Pronunciation practice (Language learners):** Non-native speakers can hear a selected sentence pronounced with a natural-sounding voice to check rhythm and pronunciation.

## 优势

- Only 39 users and a 2.5-star rating, so polish and support are limited
- Last updated in March 2024 and the free extension itself is not actively developed
- No built-in voices, playback speed control, or cross-device sync
