I'm looking for a free TTS service or website that will accept a website article URL as input, then parse the contents and produce a decent-sounding audio reading of the article's contents. I intend to use this for personal use only to listen to articles/blog posts while doing chores, exercising, or other activities where reading is impractical but listening is feasible.
An open source project that does this would also be acceptable, as long as it can accept a link as input (rather than requiring one to copy-paste the text of each article). Some modern websites (such as WSJ and The Economist) offer this as a built-in feature on many of their articles, and Edge has this as a built-in feature, but it would be great to find a third party website-agnostic and browser-agnostic service capable of doing this for any given link.
I've seen a lot of "freemium" services while doing a few quick online searches, as well as others with a monthly or per-article fee. If no other solutions exist, I might consider paying for one of these, or I may try to develop my own solution.
Thanks in advance for any insights/suggestions!
