Read it? No. Hear it.
Select text in any app. Press one shortcut. That's it.
Three seconds. Zero learning curve.
No setup wizard. No onboarding. No tutorial. Just this:
Highlight
Select any text in any app — browser, email, documents, code editor.
Press ⌘⌥R
One keystroke triggers Magic Read. The text is captured instantly.
Listen
Natural AI voices read it aloud. Control speed, pause, replay.
Reading shouldn't feel like a chore
You have 47 tabs open
Articles you saved to read later. Documentation you need for work. Emails you keep skimming but never finishing.
Your focus drifts mid-paragraph
You re-read the same line three times. Your brain wanders. Walls of text feel paralyzing — especially with ADHD.
You can't read and do anything else
Reading demands your eyes. Your hands. Your full attention. But you have code to write, dishes to do, a walk to take.
What if you could just... listen?
Hear the difference
Try it right here — real AI voices, right in your browser.
“Kotorro makes it easy to listen to anything on your screen. Just highlight, press a hotkey, and hear it spoken in a natural voice.”
Built for how you work
Every detail designed around the one-keystroke workflow.
Voices that sound human
Premium AI voices with natural intonation and proper pacing. Zero robot. Like having a great narrator on call.
Works in every app
VS Code, Safari, Chrome, Messages, Mail, Notion, Slack, your terminal — if you can select text, Kotoro can read it.
Your pace, your way
Cycle through 0.5x to 2x playback speed. Pause, resume, replay. Full control from a tiny floating player.
Invisible until you need it
A tiny floating pill appears when listening, disappears when done. Lives in your menu bar. Zero footprint.
Built by someone who gets it
I have ADHD. Long text shuts my brain down. I built Kotoro because I needed a way to absorb content without fighting my own focus. One keystroke. Audio starts. That's the whole idea.

People who listen instead of read
“I listen to docs while I code. No more losing my place switching between browser tabs and my editor.”
Hear documentation, Stack Overflow answers, and code reviews without leaving your IDE.
“Your writing sounds different spoken aloud. I catch awkward phrasing and typos my eyes skip right over.”
Proofread by ear. Your brain fills in gaps when reading silently — hearing it breaks the spell.
“Walls of text used to shut my brain down. Audio keeps me engaged when reading can't. I built Kotoro because I needed it.”
Audio bypasses the executive function demands of reading. Listen while you move, fidget, or pace.
