## Description

Subreader is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your movie and TV viewing experience by reading subtitles aloud using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. It supports SRT subtitle files and can convert other subtitle formats to SRT for seamless audio narration. Subreader maintains precise synchronization with your on-screen media, so you never have to pause or miss a moment. For the best quality, it is recommended to use Google's Text-to-Speech engine. Ideal for users who want to enjoy films without constantly reading subtitles, Subreader brings an accessible and immersive approach to watching foreign-language movies or shows. Developed originally by a solo creator, this app balances simplicity with powerful functionality.
