Everything you need to read smarter

Recito works on any page — no copy-pasting, no switching apps.

Natural text-to-speech

Powered by the most natural-sounding AI voices available — not the robotic voices you're used to.

Word-by-word highlighting

Follow along as each word is highlighted in real time. Never lose your place in a long article again.

AI summarization

Get the key points of any article in seconds before you listen. Available on Pro and Max plans.

Speed control

Listen at your pace — from 0.5× for complex material to 2.5× when you need to get through content fast.

Multiple voices

Choose from a library of natural voices. Max plan users get access to ultra-realistic voice models that sound genuinely human.

Works everywhere

Articles, docs, Wikipedia, Reddit, newsletters — if it's text on a page, Recito can read it aloud.

AI Podcast Mode

Turn any article into a natural 2-person podcast conversation instantly. Two AI hosts discuss, debate and summarise the content — exclusive to Max plan.

Common questions

High-quality AI text-to-speech has real infrastructure costs. Rather than offer a degraded free tier with robotic voices, we chose to offer genuinely great audio at a fair price. We think you'll prefer it too.
Starter and Pro use our standard voice engine — natural, clear, and pleasant. Max uses our premium voice engine, which produces noticeably more human-like intonation, emotion, and nuance. If you've ever thought AI voices sound "off," Max is worth trying.
Recito works on the vast majority of websites — Medium, Substack, Wikipedia, Reddit, news sites, documentation, and more. A small number of sites with non-standard rendering or heavy paywalls may not work perfectly.
