Description from store
Select to Speak extension for accessibility.
Select any text in Chrome and then right click while still selected. Select the "Start Speaking" option. Right click again and select "Stop Speaking" to stop at any time. Adjust values in the settings panel.
If the page has disabled text selection or context menus, you can try to remove the blocks using the buttons in settings, or copy and paste text into the extension pop-up and press the Speak button.
All client-side processing unless you have installed a 3rd party voice extension which uses network rendering.
No ads, no tracking, no other functionality, nothing but reading selected text.

- Didn't work for me. I'd click for it to speak and nothing would happen.

- It didn't work very well on the flatpak Chrome I installed on my Steam Deck. It kept looping the first 3-ish words and wouldn't read the whole paragraph, even if copy-pasted into the text box on its dialogue/settings window.

- same speech tool that my mac has, i thought this would be different

- Perfectly functional. The voices can be customized in pitch, speed and volume which i find very helpful. suggestion: please allow the extension to speak multiple languages without requiring the user to manually switch it in extension settings- i am multilingual and i use the extension to help read more than one language. Please also scale up the menu in extension settings webpage if possible, it's quite small on desktop.

- The screenshot shows "Google US English" , but that voice is NOT available. Only the robotic voices.
