## Description

Text To Speech Audio Reader is an easy-to-use extension that turns text into speech. You can import a text file or type text directly, and it will read aloud. It handles very large plain-text files with no delay and highlights the current reading sentence to help you follow along.

It supports two modes—read and edit—and offers fast forward and backward navigation, tap-to-read from anywhere in read mode, and a variety of voices and voice settings. It also lets you save progress and resume where you left off, making it ideal for accessibility, study, and hands-free reading.

## Review summary

Users praise Text To Speech Audio Reader for being free, easy to paste large amounts of text, and generally useful for listening to long articles on the go, with basic voice customization. However, recurring problems dominate overall sentiment: the app frequently loops or repeats lines, has reliability and stability issues (crashes, getting stuck, losing place), text import/paste handling can be flaky, voices are robotic and voice changes unreliable, and ads/spam can interrupt usage. Overall, it's functional in ideal cases but hampered by bugs and limited voice quality.

### Pros

- Free to use with no payments required and minimal ads.
- Easy to paste or import large blocks of text.
- Simple, lightweight interface that works well for listening on the go.
- Voice customization through a settings menu.
- Useful for listening to long articles or books via text-to-speech.

### Cons

- Repeated lines or sections looping, causing words to be read over and over.
- Text import and handling unreliable: cannot import text consistently; issues with pasting and losing place.
- Reliability issues: app can crash, get stuck, or lose progress.
- Poor, robotic voices with limited or unreliable voice options.
- Ads/spam interruptions or monetization felt intrusive.
