Screenshots

See her at work

  • Blair Aloud reading a web page aloud, with her side panel open on the right. On the page, the paragraph being read has a dashed outline and the date 10/22/2026 is highlighted as she says it. The side panel shows SoftBlair's portrait, the status Speaking, and the words she is saying: “The concert on October 22 2026 costs 5 dollars, the R and B playlist is number 1 this week, the app is written in C plus plus, and 100 percent of the tickets are gone.” Below are buttons for Read page, Read selection, Previous heading, Next heading, Read image text and Stop, with their keyboard shortcuts.
    Reading aloud with word highlighting, and her side panel showing what she says. Symbols come out as words: “5 dollars”, “C plus plus”.
  • Small numbered badges, 1 to 4, on a page's buttons, including three icon buttons that have no labels, so a voice command such as “click 3” can press them.
    Say “show numbers”, then “click 3”: voice control even for buttons with no names.
  • A Live captions box over a page that is playing a weather report. It shows the spoken words “It will be sunny in the afternoon with a light breeze from the west, tomorrow brings rain. So remember to take an umbrella when you leave the house.” with Save, Clear and close buttons, and the note: Listening to this tab. Nothing is saved unless you press Save.

Pages nobody fixed

How she reaches anything

  1. She asks the page first

    Most pages describe their buttons and text. Blair Aloud reads that first: fast and exact.

  2. She looks where it says nothing

    When a button has no name or the words are in a picture, she reads what's on screen herself.

  3. She learns your fixes

    Tell her “that icon is Save” once, and she remembers it for that site.

The speech filter

She reads like a person, not a machine

Privacy

Everything stays on your device

What never leaves

  • What she sees on your screen.
  • What she hears from your tabs and your microphone.
  • Your password fields. She won't read them aloud unless you turn that on.

How she does it

  • Her voice and her listening run on your computer.
  • Nothing she sees or hears is stored, unless you save captions.
  • Your key is the only thing we keep. No tracking.

Prices

Buy her once. She's yours for good.

One payment, no subscription, nothing to cancel. An accessibility tool should never switch off because a card expired. After activation she works offline, forever.
