## Description

English
Web Text-to-Speech Reader is a Firefox accessibility extension. After clicking the extension button in the toolbar, it extracts the main article content from the current webpage and reads it aloud using the system voice in a separate, clean reading tab. It is suitable for text-focused pages such as news articles, blogs, tutorials, encyclopedias, and product documentation.
Privacy Notice:
It does not send articles, webpage URLs, voice settings, or analytics data.
It contains no advertising, tracking, telemetry, or remote code.
Articles are stored only in the current Firefox session’s in-memory browser.storage.session.
The associated article is deleted when its reading tab is closed; all article session data is cleared when Firefox stops.
How to use: Open a regular webpage containing an article, click the extension button, select the starting sentence in the newly opened reading tab, and then click Start Reading.
The extension’s own source code is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0).
