Description from store
Reads out loud any page without leaving the page. Works continuously - even if you shift to a different tab. No tricks. No privacy violations. Does what it says it does - nothing else hidden under the hood.
Listen to news, wiki articles & more, directly on their websites.
Reads any website, without having to copy text or leave the website.
TTSreader is particularly suited for content based websites, eg Wikipedia articles.
Please note: the ability to read an article on a site depends heavily on how the site is built (and tagged under the hood), as we try to read only the interesting content and skip non content like ads and stuff. In case you need it to read a site, and it does not do it very well, you can select the text, right-click with the mouse, then select 'Play Selected Text'. Also - please send us an email, or feedback on https://ttsreader.com/extension/guide/ so we can perhaps adjust for the site you need.
Main Features:
Reading whole pages
Select text on the page -> right mouse click menu -> read selection
Marks the currently read sentence, so you can follow the reading.
Multilingual, multiple voices and accents.
All your website reading needs in a simple, efficient and intuitive manner! The extension is super simple to use and, a professional text to speech. The extension allows for instant reading of text with natural sounding voices, directly from within any website.
The extension's icon will be placed right on your Chrome's toolbar, so it will always be available without exiting your working tab. In addition, you can simply select the text you want to be read, and click "Play Selected" right from the popup context menu upon the right-mouse-click.
The TTSReader chrome extension has a set features and functionality that allow you to control and customize your listening experience.
• Choose a language & voice from a list.

- (2024-05-06) Jeremy Oles: The TTSReader Chrome extension is a superb tool for anyone looking to transform written content into high-quality spoken audio directly in their browser. This extension is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to listen to articles, documents, and web pages with just a click. TTSReader supports multiple languages and voices, allowing for a customized listening experience that suits your preferences. The speech generated is clear and natural, enhancing comprehension and accessibility, especially for those who prefer auditory learning or have visual impairments. Whether you're multitasking or just want to give your eyes a rest, TTSReader is a fantastic, practical addition to your Chrome toolkit.
- (2024-05-04) Eric Ketzer: sadly, it doesn't work at all. Probably needs an update?
- (2024-01-29) Adam Jones: I am so glad I found this TTS Extension! i went through so many others that would either have missing features, cost a bunch of money or just not work. This extension does everything I want it to do, it has a clear voice, allows for copy and pasting in the content, allows for changing the speed, and, most important to me, it is free! Thank you so much to the makers of this extension.

- (2023-03-31) Chris Vydas: Some good some bad but mostly it doesn't work. Red only a small portion not the entirety of the page, even stops mid sentence but if I hit the play button again, it restarts. Kinda a pain but it works albeit, barely. Please fix it

- (2023-02-13) Diana Holiner: It's fine but the voices aren't the right speed anymore and the voices aren't as good as they used to be. I liked it earlier but now I'd just rather use something else.

- (2022-12-28) Luciano Gadelha: Do luxo ao lixo! Eu estava usando o TTSReader Text to Speech há algum tempo e realmente gostava dele. O recurso de leitura de texto era muito útil para ajudar a me concentrar enquanto trabalhava e também para acessar conteúdo que eu talvez não tivesse tempo de ler. No entanto, recentemente instalei a nova atualização e fiquei muito desapontado com a mudança de aparência. A interface antiga era muito mais fácil de usar e mais agradável de olhar, mas agora parece muito mais bagunçada e confusa. Além disso, a qualidade da voz também parece ter diminuído. Infelizmente, vou ter que procurar outra extensão de leitura de texto para usar no lugar do TTSReader.Eu realmente espero que o desenvolvedor conserte esses problemas em breve, porque eu gostava muito do TTSReader e gostaria de poder usá-lo novamente.

- (2020-12-28) Tadeu Fagaraz: A velocidade máxima ( too fast) (das 5 velociades) poderia ser um pouco mais rápida. E para aprender a usar e configurar, leva um tempinho. Faltou atalho no teclado para pausar, acelerar e diminuir velocidade. Fora isso, foi o melhor que encontrei e funciona muito bem.
- (2020-10-09) Hack Man: I originally rated this 4 stars, because it was pretty much the only app I could find where you could change the rate it reads at. Some time in the summer of 2020 the speed change stopped working. Not sure if it was a change in the app or a change in Google Chrome, but it hasn't been fixed--so I'm changing my rating to a "2" for now. Also, now it will read a few sentences and then stop. And often, you have to tell it to read, then tell it to pause, and then tell it to read a second time before it will even start reading.

- (2020-02-22) Voice Actor Bobby G.: This is very useful and I loved it! It has a few flaws though! First off, it mispronounces some words. I will love for TTS to create a pronunciation editor, similar to what Natural Reader did and it's free! :D I dislike the fact that you have to pay money monthly in order to have natural sounding voices in NaturalReader. This TTS reader is free and I love that! ^^ If this TTS reader added their own pronunciation editor on both the website and the extension somehow, someway, that will be great! That way, I don't have to worry about the Text to Speech reader mispronouncing words. ^^ Also, this Text To Speech reader sometimes stops at periods when it reads out names like U.S. or S.H.I.E.L.D. Another thing is that this Text To Speech reader reads out the !!!. The exclamation marks. That has to be fixed. And one last thing. The confusion of Dr. and St. for Doctor and Saint, but sometimes, it reads out as Drive and Street. xDD That needs to be fixed as well. Overall, a very awesome and useful extension, but if they added what I suggested in this review, it will be awesome! :D <3

- (2020-02-19) Lu Negão: A melhor opção que vi até agora, mas não dei 5 estrelas por ainda esperar uma extensão que leia o texto "selecionado" da página NA PRÓPRIA PÁGINA, marcando de amarelo ou outra cor a parte que está sendo lida. Sei que têm outras extensões que fazem isto, mas a maioria INSISTEM em não disponibilizar VÁRIAS opções de VELOCIDADE, para que possamos escolher de acordo com o TEMPO que temos E a ATENÇÃO que o texto necessitar.
- (2020-02-08) True Apostle: This is without much thinking on my part, of all the different text to speech applications, and most all were useful, the easiest and most reliable reader I've added to Chrome. I therefore give top review, and see any needed improvements as something that is going to happen for the constructive collaboration between those that make these applications and the people who are needed to test and use these tools, giving criticism where it is positive to build a greater UX and UI, #1 TTS Reader that can do all that anyone could desire or need! This stronger relationship between us all makes anything in this platform called existence a mutual collective species that evolves into the zenith horizon super race of mankind. There is a glitch within this very useful text to speech reader, namely the premium version, when I purchased it was doing fine, but then a month later it stopped being able to access and speak the different voices. Is only giving me the US female voice. $10, so what! I guarantee all of you who have complained got way more than a $10 contribution to something that works great, even if it is speaking only one voice. Plus I am certain that it functions fantastic for most who have it installed. TRUE

- (2019-10-16) Bob Heitzman: This appears to be an outdated version of another product by the same company. Website does not compare the two product features or use cases so it is hard to tell. It also causes a pop up notification each time Chrome is at boot time which is annoying.
