How it works

  1. 01

    Open a Reddit thread.

    Any subreddit, any post.

  2. 02

    Press play.

    We parse the post and comments, assign a unique voice to each author, and start reading.

  3. 03

    Listen your way.

    Queue more threads, switch voices, or drop into sleep mode with ambient audio.

Built for long sessions

Every detail designed to keep you listening.

  • A voice per commenter

    We hash each username and assign a consistent voice from your device's library. u/foo always sounds like u/foo, every thread.

  • Gender-aware matching

    Voices are grouped so usernames tend toward matching voices — subtle, but it makes long threads far easier to follow.

  • Queue & reorder

    Stack up threads, drag to reorder, auto-advance to the next one. Like a podcast app, built for Reddit.

  • Sleep mode

    Ten hand-picked ambient tracks with a fade-to-silence timer. Voices taper, music dims, screen goes dark.

  • Zero network calls

    Synthesis happens on-device via the Web Speech API. No audio leaves your browser. No account. No data collected.

  • One click, any thread

    Hit the extension icon on any Reddit thread and narration starts instantly. No setup, no copy-pasting, no extra tabs.

Drift off to a thread.

Queue a long AskReddit, pick an ambient track, and set a fade timer. Voices taper, music dims, the screen goes dark. It's the quietest way to end a scroll.

  • Drifting

Questions

Is ThreadCast affiliated with Reddit?
No. ThreadCast is an independent reader built by Pixel Labs. "Reddit" is a registered trademark of Reddit, Inc.
Do I need a Reddit account?
No. The extension reads what's already on the page — it never logs in or accesses your account.
Where does the audio come from?
Your browser's built-in speech engine (Web Speech API). Nothing is sent to our servers.
Why does each commenter sound different?
We hash the username and map it to a voice, so the same user always gets the same voice across threads.
Does it work on mobile?
The Android app is in internal testing; iOS is on the way. The Chrome extension runs on desktop.
How much does it cost?
The core reader is free. A Pro tier with extra voices and features is planned — see Pricing.
