Third-party vendors, AI companies, and accessibility overlay providers pitching paid read-aloud solutions are largely unnecessary, and often come with downsides: environmental cost from AI processing, legal risk from overlays, user tracking, and unreliable functionality. Users who genuinely rely on spoken content typically already know about and prefer browser-native or extension-based tools. The only caveat is that these browser features work best on well-structured HTML, so if they don't work on your site, that's a signal to fix your markup.
