Varterm Extensions

Install once, keep the same workflow everywhere. Varterm is built for long-form content and markdown-heavy text across web, Cursor, VS Code, and Chrome.

Long-form readyMarkdown-friendlyWeb + Editor + Browser

Choose Your Setup

Pick the surface you use most. Core behavior stays consistent across all installs.

Cursor / VS Code Extension

Read editor selection, clipboard, and agent output aloud. Great for long files, docs, and markdown-heavy responses.

Prefer the downloadable .vsix below (GitHub Releases). Cursor may not see the VS Code Marketplace entry yet—that is why manual install matters. If the download link errors, package from source or pick the Marketplace when it goes live.

Download varterm-cursor-0.1.16.vsixBuild .vsix from sourceGitHub ReleasesVS Code Marketplace

The button above resolves after GitHub Releases ships v0.1.16 with that .vsix attached. Seeing 404? Publish the artifact in varterm/extensions or use Build .vsix from source.

  1. Get a .vsix: Prefer the binary download; otherwise open the README Development section and run npm install plus npm run package inside extensions/vscode.
  2. Install in Cursor: Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) → Extensions: Install from VSIX... → choose the package → reload if prompted.
  3. VS Code: Prefer the Marketplace when the listing is live; .vsix install uses the same command as Cursor.
  4. Run Varterm: Connect only if you use a custom server or token.
  5. Run Varterm: Read Clipboard Aloud or Varterm: Read Editor/Selection Aloud for long-form docs and markdown files.

Chrome Extension

Read selected text or entire pages directly in your browser, including long-form articles and markdown-style AI outputs.

Install on Chrome
  1. Install extension and pin it to toolbar.
  2. Select text and use the floating button or context menu for long passages and markdown blocks.
  3. If testing locally: open `chrome://extensions` and use Load unpacked.

Web App

Use Varterm instantly with no setup for long-form docs, markdown cleanup, and ChatGPT-ready playback.

Open Web App
  1. Paste text into the editor.
  2. Pick Cloud, Browser, or Offline voice mode.
  3. Press play and follow chunk progress for long text.
