Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Narro is a Chrome extension that reads web pages and Kindle Cloud Reader books aloud using on-device AI TTS models (Kokoro, Supertonic, Piper, Kitten TTS) or cloud voices via user API keys, with sentence highlighting and automatic page turning. It stands out for packaging multiple browser-native TTS engines with WebGPU support and OCR-based Kindle reading into a single privacy-focused tool.

Target audience: frontend developers, accessibility users, and general consumers wanting local TTS in the browser
