"TabSpeech" is a Chrome extension that uses the Web Speech API to convert text from the current tab into natural-sounding speech. Users can select a text range, activate the speech feature, and control playback with options to stop, pause, or resume. With the ability to repeat speech from the beginning, TabSpeech offers an accessible and convenient way to engage with content on the web. Explore the settings to customize your experience, and contribute to the ongoing development on GitHub.
