Reads webpages, PDFs, Kindle books and chatbot replies aloud with synced highlighting, in nine languages.
CastReader is a text-to-speech reader that works where most do not: alongside webpages and PDFs it handles Kindle Cloud Reader, Google Docs, Gmail, Notion and AI chatbot responses, highlighting each phrase as it speaks. Smart extraction strips ads and navigation so articles read cleanly, and a Read and Explain mode has the AI explain a passage while highlighting what it refers to. It supports nine languages and private voice cloning. The free tier is permanent, giving 20 minutes of listening and three explanations a day on standard voices; Pro costs roughly $3 a month billed yearly for unlimited listening, premium voices and 120 monthly minutes of cloned voice.

Use tool ↗Kindle Cloud Reader support is the detail that matters — most read-aloud extensions cannot touch it, and that is precisely where people have a backlog they never get through. At roughly three dollars a month it undercuts the established readers, and the permanent free tier is generous enough for occasional use.
Watch out: Pro's headline rate is the annual-billing equivalent, so the real outlay is a year paid up front.
