How to make Gemini read its responses aloud automatically

Set it up in four steps

1. 1
   Add Auris to Chrome

   Install Auris from the Chrome Web Store, then activate the license key from your purchase email. It takes about a minute.

2. 2
   Open Gemini

   Go to gemini.google.com/ in Chrome. If the tab was already open, refresh it once so Auris can attach.

3. 3
   Ask anything and listen

   Auris starts reading the answer aloud as it streams, sentence by sentence. A small player appears in the corner so you can pause, skip, or stop.

4. 4
   Control it from the keyboard

   Alt+A reads the latest answer or selected text, Alt+P pauses, Alt+S skips a sentence, and Alt+X stops. On a Mac, Alt is the Option key.

Built-in listening vs automatic reading

Gemini's own listen option plays a response when you ask it to, one response at a time. That works well for the occasional answer.

If you want every answer spoken without clicking, for example while you cook or look away from the screen, Auris reads each new Gemini response automatically and starts while the answer is still appearing.

What Auris does on Gemini

• Reads only the response body, not Gemini's headers or status text.
• Starts with the first sentence instead of waiting for the full response.
• Uses your device's voices, with speed from 0.7x to 2x.
• Shares one player and one set of shortcuts across Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
