What Liso is
Liso is a tool that converts text content on the web into audio you can listen to right away. Using the Chrome extension, you select text on any page and send it to Liso, or you paste text straight into the app, and it becomes natural-sounding audio within seconds. It supports many platforms such as Substack, Medium, X, Notion, Wikipedia, and WordPress, and it offers several AI voices with playback speed from 0.75x to 2x. You can download content for offline listening and organize it into folders. It offers a free trial with 5 listens per month and no credit card, with a Pro plan for unlimited listening.

What to watch out for
The free tier is limited to 5 listens per month, and the Pro plan is paid with terms that can change, so confirm current pricing if you need more. Voice quality and pacing vary by content, so dense or technical text may be harder to follow by ear. Some sites may block text selection or restrict extensions, so not every page will work smoothly. Treat it as a way to reuse reading time, not a replacement for careful study of complex material. Behavior may vary across browsers and devices, so test before production use and consult the help docs if errors appear.
