Manuscript Reader

Free read-aloud for writers. No big tech, no bullshit.

What it does

Manuscript Reader lets you hear your writing read aloud using a natural AI voice — for free, with no account, and no uploads. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server, never stored, and never used to train AI.
