Read Aloud Chrome Extension
Listen to any webpage out loud while word highlighting follows along.
Chrome has no built-in read aloud for the pages you actually read. unChonk adds it — a read aloud Chrome extension with natural AI voices and real-time word highlighting that works on articles, PDFs, and Google Docs.
Read aloud, built into your browser
Your screen is where most of your reading happens — long articles, documentation, news, research. But Chrome can't read any of it to you. So the moment your eyes get tired or you want to multitask, you're stuck reading every word yourself. A read aloud extension closes that gap: it turns whatever is on the page into audio you can listen to.
unChonk reads the page out loud with natural-sounding AI voices, and highlights each word as it speaks so your eyes can follow along instead of losing your place. You can speed it up, slow it down, and keep listening as you move between tabs.
It's not limited to web pages either — the same extension reads PDFs and Google Docs aloud, so one tool covers nearly everything you read in the browser.
