Text to Speech (TTS) is a versatile Chrome extension that converts written text into natural sounding speech using modern HTML5 TTS APIs. Users can either input text directly into the extension's interface or simply highlight any paragraph within a webpage and click the appearing speaker icon to have the text read aloud.

Featuring an intuitive toolbar button for standalone use and an in-page text-to-speech function, this tool enhances accessibility and convenience for users who prefer auditory content. The extension offers customizable in-page TTS options, although its text highlight feature is still in beta and might have limited compatibility on some sites. For continuous improvement, users can report bugs via the addon's homepage.

PLEASE ADD SPEECH SPEED SELECTOR!!! Simple and straightforward. Works most the time too. Leaving 3 star because of missing important feature.

by Gaurav, 2025-02-23

Works weaknesses: 1) No way to change playback speed. 2) No way to pause recording when using keyboard activation, through extension button. You can pause, but through another method.

Works as advertised, however different voices are available to choose yet you cannot change the main voice.
