Listen to articles and PDFs

Rest your eyes and get through your reading list by listening. Louder reads the article or PDF in front of you aloud on a hotkey — in your browser, in Preview, anywhere — in a natural voice.

Articles

Open any article and press the hotkey. Louder reads the story and skips the menus, cookie banners, and related-links clutter, so you hear the piece and not the page furniture.

PDFs and documents

Open a PDF in Preview or any viewer and press the hotkey — Louder reads what's on the page. No uploading the file to a separate service, and it works on documents you can see but can't easily select.

Frequently asked questions

Can I listen to articles on my Mac instead of reading them?

Yes. Open the article and press the Louder hotkey — it reads the story aloud in a natural voice and skips the page clutter.

How do I get a PDF read aloud on Mac?

Open the PDF in any Mac app and press the Louder hotkey. It reads the page on screen without any upload step.
