Read aloud the current web-page article with one click, using text to speech (TTS). Supports 40+ languages. Read Aloud uses text-to-speech (TTS) technology to convert webpage text to audio. It works on a variety of websites, including news sites, blogs, fan fiction, publications, textbooks, school and course materials. Read Aloud helps users who prefer to listen to content instead of reading, including children learning to read and those with dyslexia or other learning disabilities. Read Aloud allows you to select from a variety of text-to-speech voices, including native voices provided by the browser and AI voices from cloud providers such as Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure, and OpenAI. Cloud-based voices may require additional in-app purchase or bringing your own API key to enable. Read Aloud can read PDF, Google Docs, Google Play books, Amazon Kindle, and EPUB (via the excellent EPUBReader extension from epubread.com). To use Read Aloud, navigate to the web page you want to read, then click the Read Aloud icon on the browser menu. You can also use the shortcut keys ALT-P, ALT-O, ALT-Comma, and ALT-Period to activate the extension. If some text is selected, Read Aloud will read only the selected text. Additionally, you can right click the text selection and start Read Aloud from the context menu. To change the voice, reading speed, pitch, or enable text highlighting, go to the Options page via the Gear button on the extension popup (you'll need to stop playback to see the Gear button). You can also access the Options page from the context menu by right clicking the extension icon. On the extension popup, there are buttons to increase/decrease the the size of the popup window, the font size, as well as toggle dark mode. Read Aloud is an open-source project.

Web Page Reader TTS Text To Speech
100% Free. No registration. No ads. No data sharing. Reads with no selection required. Highlights one sentence at a time. This extension reads web pages with text to speech (TTS) and highlights one sentence at a time. It doesn't require you to select any text first. It doesn't launch a new weird web page. And it's totally free with no sign in or registration required. And it's ad free. By default it reads the whole page, top to bottom. However, if you select any text, even just a word, it starts reading at your selection, but continues on from there until you stop it, or it reaches the end of the page. Now with better "sentence" identification. 👓 Cramming for exams 👓 Vision impaired 👓 Multi-tasking 👓 Adult continuing education 👓 Learning a new language 👓 Cramming for technical interviews 👓 Relaxing with a good book and a cup of tea 😀 You can go forwards and backwards, skipping to the next or previous sentence. You can pause or resume, and you can repeat the current sentence. If it's reading, you can change where it reads next simply by highlighting another word. 😀 You can control the voice (i.e., nationality, gender), pitch, speaking rate and volume from the extension's control panel. It loads all the voices which are available to Chrome. You can also disable the voice and just have it highlight sentences (to keep you on pace or use it as a teleprompter) 😀 You can change the background color and the font color of the selected text. Try using some semi-transparent colors, those are nice! 😀 If you are reading / learning software development, you can have the reader skip reading sections of code 😀 You can control the scrolling behavior. It can page down when it get to the bottom, like humans normally do, or it can keep the sentence being read in the middle of the screen (and you can adjust where the "middle" is, put it anywhere between the top or the bottom.), or you can turn auto scrolling off (so you can scroll along manually or study another part of the page). 😀 You can control the reader entirely from the keyboard. See the keyboard image for key assignments. Learn to read entire pages with just your right hand on the arrow keys. 😀 The new Vocabulary feature isn't quite here yet, but it's coming soon. You'll be able to add custom dictionaries to change the pronunciation and / or see definitions of words you're trying to learn, without leaving the page. 1. After adding this to Chrome 2.

If you go to another Chrome tab, it will pause and you can read something else. If you go back to a previous reading tab, just press the right arrow key to resume reading where you left off. The current version should be stable. But please report any issues on the support tab or by visiting our website. Try each number solution one at a time, and if that doesn't work, try the next numbered solution. 1. Make sure the web page has the focus for keyboard shortcuts to work 2. Refresh the page. Click on the page and retry. 1. Click on the web page and press Esc key twice. 2. Click the Stop button in the toolbar on the extension control panel 3. Refresh the page 4. Look for another instance of Chrome running in the background where you may have started reading and forgot you had that open 😯 Issue: Voice lag. On the google online voices, which sound the best of just about any free voices, sometimes there is "hesitancy" or "lag", and sometimes there's not. I have done my best to eliminate it, but if it seems hesitant to read: 1. Try pressing the left arrow, then the right arrow again 2. Try pressing the Esc key twice, or clicking the Stop button on the reading toolbar, and starting reading again by pressing the Right Arrow key. 3. Try refreshing the page. 4. Use a "local" voice 1. Test another website, like Wikipedia, to see if it's just that site or document. Some pdf viewers and website are doing some pretty inhospitable things in their scripting for accessibility. 1. Use Chrome. I know this doesn't work in Brave. For other browsers, I'm not sure. (People understandably have privacy concerns about Chrome, so I have ensured the app will run just fine without being logged into Chrome.) 2. Go to the reader control panel and change the voice. 3. Ensure the tab isn't muted 4. Ensure sound is enabled in Chrome settings (test with Youtube). Enable sound by default or at least make sure the site your on is allowed sound. 5. Check the volume controls on your device 1. Russian language voices are currently disabled. 🇺🇦 Sláva Ukrayíni! 2. Check the Chrome Web Store for more voices in your language and add them to Chrome. Then check the Web Page Reader control panel again. If it doesn't show up, reinstall the extension (shouldn't be necessary but fyi it's something to try) 1. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The review section could use your help 2. I don't want any money 3. I don't want a cup of coffee 4. I want you to enjoy learning and get the most out of your reading

Text to Speech (TTS)
A text to speech tool with natural sounding voices. Text to Speech (TTS) is a text-to-speech extension with natural-sounding voices by using two different TTS engines. The 1st engine is the HTML5 native web speech API for speech synthesis. It is active in all modern browsers by default (more info: https://webaudio.github.io/web-speech-api/). The 2nd API is the Kokoro AI engine, which uses a new artificial intelligence method to synthesize text (more info: https://huggingface.co/onnx-community/Kokoro-82M-v1.0-ONNX). Please note that when you choose Kokoro AI, the app needs to download training data (~300MB) for the AI engine. So please be patient while the app is loading. You can use this extension in a standalone interface or within web pages. If you press the toolbar button, the first interface opens up where you can enter the desired text for TTS. On the other hand, within a webpage, once you select a text, a placeholder speaker icon appears. Once you click the speaker icon, the text-to-speech starts. For the highlight feature to work correctly, please select text paragraph by paragraph. Please note that the highlight feature is still in Beta and may not work properly on all websites. There are also a few options related to the in-page text-to-speech, which can be adjusted from the extension settings page. Note 1: For TTS in webpages, the app only uses the Web Speech API. Kokoro AI engine is only available within the standalone interface. Note 2: Kokoro AI engine, once loaded, can work fully offline. Moreover, you can save the output TTS audio as a .wav file to your machine. When text-to-speech is completed, please press the audio icon on the right toolbar.
