Aura Reader is a free, client-side reading companion for Markdown and plain text.
It turns your writing into a focused read-aloud experience with sentence highlighting,
readable themes, keyboard controls, and local browser voices.
It also works as a clean, convenient Markdown reader when you simply want to read
without listening.
The app is built to stay lightweight and privacy-friendly: your pasted text and uploaded
documents stay on your device — Aura Reader never uploads them to its own servers.
To suggest local English accent voices, Aura Reader may request a coarse country lookup from ipapi.co;
your document text is not included in that request.
Narration uses your device's built-in voices. Note that some system voices labelled
"Online", "Natural", or "Neural" may send the text being read to your operating system's
speech service to generate audio.
