Extension summary

Overview

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

My main reason for it doesn't work. I like to have it read a page while I'm viewing another tab...it stops reading when the other tab is selected. : - (

Works for me but its annoying that i can't turn it off sometimes

well it works but it the only down side is that it reads like"main menu service page artivle help..." u get it but it is countered by selecting where to read from but it is hard to do in places like wikepedia, i like the slowness so u can comprehend and u can write while it speaks. overall 4 stars.
