Xeder

Xeder is a browser extension for Chrome that converts the text of your X feed into speech. Instead of reading a timeline with your eyes, you get a voice that reads it to you while you cook, commute, or work on another screen. It's built for people who spend a lot of time on X and want a way to keep up without staring at a wall of posts. In short, it's a tweet reader extension that swaps scrolling for listening.

The extension works locally as an overlay in your browser. As long as you're logged into your own X account, Xeder reads the text directly from the screen. It never asks for your password and never gets access to it. That removes the biggest worry people have about handing a feed to a third-party tool. No password, no account handover.

The one real limit is that Xeder only reads what's on screen, so it's tied to whatever the current feed shows and to your browser. Does that matter? It depends on how you use X. According to the developer, it doesn't track browsing history or push your whole feed through its servers. The only data processed is the specific text you play, which goes to the audio generation API to build the voice.

Getting Started

1. Install the Xeder extension from its official product page into Chrome.
2. Log into X in the same browser, since Xeder reads the feed from your active session.
3. Open the extension overlay on top of your X timeline and pick the posts you want read.
4. Hit play and listen; the text you select gets sent to the audio API and comes back as speech.
5. Adjust playback or move on to the next batch of tweets whenever you're ready.
