Liso turns highlighted text into instant audio

Liso, created by Evgeny Timofeev, is a browser extension and web app that converts highlighted online text into natural-sounding audio. Users can save content to a personal audio library for on-the-go listening with offline access and adjustable playback speeds.

–Seamless Integration: The browser extension enables one-click saving via a context menu, eliminating manual copy-pasting.
–Personal Audio Library: Converts web articles and newsletter excerpts into a continuous personal listening queue.
–High Everyday Utility: Offline capability and variable playback speeds make it well-suited for listening during commutes or workouts.
–Market Challenge: Competes directly with established tools like Speechify and Pocket, requiring a strong focus on minimalist UX and accessible pricing.
