Riddr can read text from everywhere on the web. Read your emails, Google Drive or PDF documents before you send them. You can use Riddr to read your favorite news websites, blogs like Medium or perhaps e-books, on a daily basis, unlimited, for free. If you can see it, Riddr probably can read it, so how you use it is up to your imagination. Read all the time, even if you have connectivity issues or you’re in a remote rural area. Riddr’s offline mode makes it the ideal language learning tool for schools and teachers in developing countries. One of Riddr’s unique features, besides predefined control shortcuts such as Read (𝗔𝗹𝘁+𝗥), Pause (𝗔𝗹𝘁+𝗣), and Stop (𝗔𝗹𝘁+𝗦), is the ability to have multiple keyboard shortcuts linked to different TTS Engines / voices in different languages, which makes Riddr not only easy to use but also very fun. New shortcuts can be added and configured very easily via the options panel. The easy to use options panel gives you huge control over your Riddr extension and gives you the ability to add your personal touch to it. Here are some of the available options: - Customise your volume level, speaking rate & voice pitch; - Predefine your preferred language; - Transcribe a list of words and specify their pronunciation (ideal for teachers and student safety); - Enable Auto-Selection Mode, which automatically extracts and reads readable text from websites; - Automatic Read Mode allows website owners to specify which content should be read upon page entry, enhancing accessibility.
