This is a very easy to use Text To Speech extension. Simply highlight any section of text on your page, then click the extension icon on your Chrome toolbar and it will be read back to you. The extension is entirely free, and always will be.

Any and all feedback/suggestions are welcome, as I plan on continuing to update it as needed.

Tried it and it cuts off mid sentence. Had to read the reviews to even figure out how to get it to work, it is incredibly slow to both read and work. You would spend so much time fiddling with it you would have about as much clue about what you just read if you just read it yourself.

I attempted to use this and it works on normal web pages like news articles. Though it doesn't finish the full reading of the highlighted text. But I was hoping to do less reading for my online course. This extension does not work at all on those pages.
