What is Text to Speech?
"Text to Speech" is a Chrome extension that transposes any written content into high-quality speech, allowing users to listen to their selections instead of reading. It auto-detects language with one-click activation, highlighting the text during speech for user-friendly engagement. What's more, you can save the converted audio files directly to your hard drive or Google Drive. Simply hold 'Alt', 'T', or 'Insert' key to enable this feature. This handy tool is completely free to use, making it a stellar companion for enhanced browsing.
