Talking Web: Chrome Extension for Text to Speech on Webpages
"Talking Web" is a valuable Chrome extension that uses Microsoft's Text to Speech (TTS) API to audibly read selected text on webpages. Ideally designed for those who are busy or have tired eyes, it allows users to absorb information while engaged in other activities. Additionally, it assists in learning foreign languages by facilitating pronunciation practices. Talking Web can interpret the structure of recognized pages such as Bing news for a seamless reading experience. It supports various languages and includes a feature to save spoken text as a wav file.
