How CastReader Works with Copilot

Natural reading for Microsoft Copilot on whichever browser you use

Browser-Agnostic

Works on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge

Microsoft Copilot's native read-aloud is limited to Copilot Pro and the Edge sidebar. If you use Chrome or Firefox, you get nothing. CastReader plugs the gap — same one-click listen experience on every Chromium browser, Firefox, and of course Edge.

Cross-browser support

Listen Button on Every Answer

🔊 Per-Response, Not Per-Conversation

A small Listen button appears next to every Copilot reply on copilot.microsoft.com. Click to hear just that answer — not the whole thread. Works for short answers, long explanations, and multi-part responses.

Per-response Listen button

Handles Attached Files

Reads the Answer, Not the File Metadata

When you attach a PDF, DOCX, or image to Copilot, the conversation shows the file name and icon alongside your prompt. CastReader's Copilot extractor skips the attachment UI so you only hear the answer — not 'Q3-2026-financial-report dot PDF' being spelled out.

Attachment metadata skipped

Natural Voices

40+ Languages, No Robotic Accent

Powered by the Kokoro TTS model. Long Copilot answers — meeting summaries, report drafts, email rewrites — sound natural enough to listen to for an hour straight without fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about listening to Copilot with CastReader

Does Microsoft Copilot have a built-in read-aloud feature?

Partially. Copilot in Edge has a sidebar read-aloud for some responses, and Copilot Pro adds voice in the mobile app. But the free copilot.microsoft.com web experience on Chrome or Firefox has no read-aloud. CastReader fills that gap with a consistent 🔊 Listen button on every response, on any browser.

Do I need Copilot Pro or a Microsoft 365 license to use this?

No. CastReader works with the free tier of Copilot. You use Copilot normally — free or paid — and CastReader reads whatever response appears on the page. No extra Microsoft license needed for the read-aloud.

Does it work with Microsoft 365 Copilot in Word, Excel, or Outlook?

CastReader is a browser extension, so it works in browser-based Copilot experiences: copilot.microsoft.com, the Copilot sidebar in Edge, and Copilot-integrated web pages. The desktop Word/Excel/Outlook Copilot panels are native apps and are outside the browser's scope.

Does it work with Copilot's image attachments?

Yes. When you upload an image and ask Copilot a question, CastReader reads the text response and skips the image attachment UI. The answer is what gets read — not the file name or 'Image uploaded' metadata.

Does it work with all Copilot models (GPT-4, GPT-5, o1)?

Yes. CastReader reads the rendered page, so whichever model Copilot is using — GPT-4, GPT-5, or the reasoning model — the assistant's response text is what gets read aloud. Model swaps don't require any extension update.

Can I listen to shared Copilot answer links?

Yes. Public Copilot share links (generated from the Share button on an answer) work with CastReader. Recipients just need CastReader installed — no Microsoft login required on their side for public shares.

Is it free?

Completely free. No API key, no usage limits, no account required. Install the Chrome extension and start listening.
