Is there a good browser extension that does this with a flexible TTS backend? I know Qwen, Kokoro, and VibeVoice all have decent quality..
I found all these on this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TextToSpeech/
I've also see comments like "Microsoft Edge's read-aloud feature is amazing for TTS" but I haven't tried it myself.
Personally I use Kokoro with a python front-end on my Macbook, I linked to it in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49818923 it outputs MP3, so I just copy those to my phone and listen as audiobooks.
Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback.
It sends it to your Spotify playlist so you can listen in the same place as the rest of your podcasts etc
It was especially nice during a bike trip along the Rhine, I listened to a lot of the history of the industrial area and its cities.
