Reads web articles, documents, and e-books aloud with natural AI voices, real-time highlighting, and cross-language explanations.
CastReader is a browser extension and mobile app that reads web articles, documents, and e-books aloud using natural AI voices, with real-time highlighting and cross-language explanations. It solves the problem of consuming long-form content hands-free and understanding dense or foreign-language material. The product targets individual consumers, students, and professionals who read on Kindle, Google Docs, or AI chat platforms, as well as marketers and operations teams needing efficient content consumption. It is positioned as a free, no-login tool that goes beyond text-to-speech by explaining content in the user's preferred language, with a moving pen to mark key points.
