# Flow TTS

> Flow TTS is a text-to-speech Chrome extension for listening to web pages with natural voices, on-device speech generation for supported local models, and custom reading flows.

Prefer the Markdown endpoints (`.md`) over HTML. Speech for supported local models runs on-device; we do not upload page text to read a page aloud. Install from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/flow-tts/hknidankihadgkfhohimfmfiamdeiedb).
