## Description

RasTeck TTS Reader is a versatile Chrome extension designed to enhance web accessibility and convenience by reading aloud webpage content and PDFs using your operating system's native text-to-speech (TTS) engines. It offers three key reading modes: reading selected text, reading a full webpage from start to finish, and reading from any user-clicked point on the page, allowing flexible navigation and control.

While it supports many common websites and PDFs, the extension may not function on certain system or dynamic web pages such as browser settings or search engine pages. Additionally, PDFs must be in HTML format or converted by the browser to be read. The extension also features word highlighting during speech, though it may not always perfectly synchronize due to technical constraints. Overall, RasTeck TTS Reader provides an effective, easy-to-use solution for listening to web content hands-free using your device's built-in speech capabilities.
