Motif

Hear it spoken, save words with context, and review them later — on your device, in Chrome.

Hear selected text

Select French on any page and hear it read aloud — with each word highlighting as you listen.

Read text in images

Draw a box over text in photos or graphics. Motif reads the French and speaks it back.

Transcribe tab audio

Transcribe French from whatever you're browsing — YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and more — with real-time English translation as you watch.

Private enough to read freely.

Motif runs in Chrome, keeps your vocabulary on your machine, and processes speech and transcription locally — so your reading stays yours after a one-time setup.

  • Natural speech Hear French pronounced in a natural voice, synthesized on your device — not sent to a cloud API.

  • Live transcription Transcribe audio from the tab you're watching, processed locally as you listen.

  • Saved locally Your vocabulary, notes, and page contexts stay in browser storage on your machine.

Initial model download requires network access. Powered by Supertonic, stt-web, Tesseract, and Chrome Translator.

Hear it, save it, and remember it.

Motif meets you on the page you're already reading — pronunciation help first, vocabulary capture second, review when you're ready.
