Announcify: An Extension for Chrome to Listen Your Web

Announcify is an innovative Chrome Extension that can read out loud any website of your choice. Whether you need to go through another article but your eyes are too tired or you just wish to be more productive, Announcify is here for you. This extension lets you sit back, relax and listen to the content of lengthy articles, without the need to manually select text. Becoming a handy tool for those eager to learn, Announcify was originally developed during the GTUG Vienna Chrome Hackathon in 2011 and has significantly improved users' browsing experience since then.

se corta la voz a poco de empezar a leer el texto. Antes funcionaba perfecto pero parece que ahora no les importa más a los desarrolladores el funcionamiento de esta extensión
