Extension summary

Webrice is a web reader for Icelandic text. It uses a text to speech (TTS) system to read aloud Icelandic text.

WebRICE er íslenskur veflesari sem les upp texta á vefsíðum á íslensku. Veflesarinn notar talgreini til að breyta texta í talað mál.

Veldu textann sem þú vilt hlusta á, opnið uppflettigluggann og smellið á Spila til að hefja upplestur. Ef enginn texti er valinn þá er allur textinn á síðunni lesinn upp.

Opnaðu sprettigluggann fyrir viðbótina (best að pinna vefviðbótina svo hún sé alltaf sýnileg).

Smellt á Spila → Byrjar upplestur af vefsíðu. Þú gætir þurft að bíða aðeins á meðan textanum er breytt í tal.

Smellt á Pásu → Gerir hlé á upplestrinum.

Smellt á Stopp → Stoppar upplestur og endurstillir á upphafsreit.
