Questions
Is Auris free like AI Voice Reader?
No. Auris installs free, and reading unlocks with a $9.99/year license at the founding price, with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Do both read while the answer is streaming?
Yes. Both describe real-time reading as the AI writes. Auris starts with the first complete sentence.
Can I switch from AI Voice Reader to Auris?
Yes. Install Auris, activate your key, and turn off the other extension so answers are not read twice.
Does Auris work on DeepSeek?
Auris includes built-in support for several other AI chats and can be switched on for any site, but it is tuned and tested for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
Is it private?
Yes. Auris reads the conversation already on your screen and speaks it with your device's own voices, inside your browser. Your conversation text never leaves your device. The only network call Auris makes is checking your license key with our payment provider.
Hear your AI, out loud.
Auris reads ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity answers aloud the moment they start streaming. Your conversations never leave your device.
