This way also works in PDF-files and some special types of pages in Chrome. https://joelpurra.com/projects/talkie/#usage # Shortcut keys A convenient option is to use the Talkie shortcut keys: ☑ ⌘+Shift+A on macOS ☑ Ctrl+Shift+A on Windows, Linux, Chrome OS ☑ ⌘+Shift+1 or Ctrl+Shift+1 to read text from the clipboard in any program (Talkie Premium feature) If the key does not work, please check that it is not already in use by another extension. How to check or change the Talkie shortcut key: https://joelpurra.com/projects/talkie/#shortcut-keys # Features ☑ Lets you listen to the selected text on any part of a page -- a short snippet or an entire news article. Just highlight what you want to hear read aloud and hit play. ☑ Automatically detects the text language per-page, and chooses a voice in the same language to match it. ☑ Privacy aware -- no unnecessary tracking or external services. # Voices ☑ Uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API for text-to-speech (TTS) known as Speech Synthesis. ☑ All text and speech is processed internally by your browser. While ultimately depending on your specific browser, all processing is expected to be done on your own machine and not use a server. ☑ The available voices may differ depending on your operating system, browser, browser version, and any other installed extensions/software. ☑ Custom voices using Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI) should work, but not all have been tested. https://joelpurra.com/projects/talkie/#install-additional-voices # Open source For open source code (GPL-3.0) and more, see the project web page: https://joelpurra.com/projects/talkie/ See also additional tools developed by Joel Purra: https://joelpurra.com/

  • (2019-04-29, v:v5.0.0 Premium Chrome Extension (2017-12-11)) Joel Purra: Problems opening the voice settings in Chrome 74
    Hello everyone! Seems there is a problem opening Talkie's voice settings in Google Chrome 74. Instead of the voice settings a generic Chrome page with extension information is shown. It worked well in Chrome 73 so seems to be a very recent change. I'll look into it, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions =) - Joel Purra, Talkie's developer

  • (2019-02-10, v:v5.0.0 Premium Chrome Extension (2017-12-11)) error message after buying the product
    It says, "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later". Even trying again later doesn't work. So How can I remove my credit card number from your site please.

    I've purchased the premium version for my kid and we can't get the program to work to work. It doesn't seem to be compatible with his school online books as they may have restrictions. I'd like to to know how can I get a refund and cancel the subscription?

  • (2017-11-30, v:v4.1.2 Premium Chrome Extension (2017-07-30)) Henrik Christensen: Danish
    I do not have Danish as a language, it can not translate from Danish text to speech. And I only have 18 languages, even if there should be 40? I have purchased Talkie Premium.
  • (2017-10-30, v:v4.1.2 Premium Chrome Extension (2017-07-30)) Terri Chen: Cannot read more than 20 words.
    I download the regualar and it stopped reading in the middle of a sentence (about 20 Chinese characters). So I paid for the Talkie Preimum thinking that it will make a difference and the app will read a page at a time. Unfortunately it is as same as the regular free version!!!!!
