Paper2Audio is a Chrome extension designed to convert research papers, web articles, and ebooks into audio format, allowing users to listen to content on-the-go. This free tool, which operates without ads, enhances the reading experience by enabling users to add content easily while browsing, particularly useful for accessing paywalled material directly from the browser.

The extension offers two modes: summary and full-text, intelligently filtering out unnecessary elements like page numbers and tables. It also provides contextual information to help clarify complex topics, making it easier for users to grasp intricate details. While fully supporting research papers, web articles and eBook functionalities are currently in beta, expanding its usability for a broader audience.
