Listen to any article

Long reads are easier to get through when you can listen instead. Paste a link above and VoiceForge pulls the article out of the page, hands it to a neural voice, and gives you back an MP3 — free, without an account.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste the link

    The page is fetched and run through the same article detection browsers use for reader mode, so navigation, adverts, related links and comment threads are left behind.

  2. 2

    Check the text

    What it found lands in the editor. Trim the parts you don't want, pick a voice, set the pace, and add pauses wherever the delivery should breathe.

  3. 3

    Listen or download

    Play it in the browser or take the MP3 away, with SRT and WebVTT subtitles timed to the word.

Questions

Which pages does this work on?
Ordinary article pages — news, blogs, documentation, essays. Anything whose text is in the page when it loads.
Why did it fail on some links?
Pages behind a login or paywall, sites that block automated readers, and pages that build their text with JavaScript after loading will come back empty. Copy the text into the main editor instead.
Does it strip the navigation and adverts?
Yes. The page is passed through Mozilla's Readability — the same article-detection used by Firefox's reader view — which keeps the body text and discards the furniture around it.
Is the page stored anywhere?
No. Our server fetches the page, hands the HTML straight back to your browser, and keeps nothing. The article text is only sent onward if you press Generate.
Can I use it on any address?
Public http and https pages on the standard web ports. Private and internal addresses are refused, which keeps the fetcher from being pointed at things it shouldn't reach.
