A text to speech tool with natural sounding voices.
Text to Speech (TTS) is a text-to-speech extension with natural sounding voices by using HTML5 TTS APIs.
You can use this extension in a standalone interface or within web pages. If you press the toolbar button the first interface opens up where you can enter a desired text for TTS. On the other hand, within a webpage, once you select a text, a placeholder speaker icon appears. Once you click the speaker icon, the text-to-speech starts. For the highlight feature to work correctly, please select text paragraph-by-paragraph. Please note that the highlight feature is still in Beta and may not work properly on all websites. There are also a few options related to the in-page text-to-speech which can be adjusted from the extension settings page.

- (2020-07-25) Andrew “saaadel” Spoda: good. but how to switch between voices? and how to change voice speed and/or pitch?
- (2020-03-12) Second Life Around: Updating Review - THIS EXTENSION DESERVES A MUCH HIGHER RATING AVERAGE. IT'S EASILY A 4.5 STAR GOING ON 5! I've been using this extension for over a year maybe longer. And during that time I've tried nearly all of them here at the Chrome Web Store...and I always stay on this one because it's easily the best one on all levels. Original Review - Has mostly always worked for me. Thank you for creating this extension. God bless.
- (2019-07-16) soul mate: Can't adjust the speed, the reading speed is too slow
- (2019-05-20) Humanitaire Empathique: Doesn't work.
- (2019-04-20) Mii Hop: It's almost perfect! But is there a way to change the voice into Google Female English? Also change speed and pitch of the voice too? Also there's seems to be bug you can't type anything on input a few times, I don't know why. It seems like it happens after you activate the TTS on two paragraphs of text, that the "unable to type in the input field" bug kicks in.
- (2019-02-18) David Delma: This is an easy to use extension, but it won't switch to others languages on my computer. It only uses french voice.
