Read Aloud utilizza la tecnologia text-to-speech (TTS) per convertire il testo di una pagina web in audio. Funziona su una varietà di siti web, inclusi siti di notizie, blog, fanfiction, pubblicazioni, libri di testo, materiali scolastici e didattici. Read Aloud aiuta gli utenti che preferiscono ascoltare i contenuti invece di leggere, inclusi i bambini che imparano a leggere e le persone con dislessia o altri disturbi dell'apprendimento.
Read Aloud consente di scegliere tra una varietà di voci text-to-speech, tra cui voci native fornite dal browser e voci basate su intelligenza artificiale (IA) da provider cloud come Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, IBM Watson, Microsoft Azure e OpenAI. Le voci basate sul cloud potrebbero richiedere un acquisto in-app aggiuntivo o l'inserimento della propria chiave API per l'attivazione.
Read Aloud può leggere PDF, Google Docs, Google Play Books, Amazon Kindle ed EPUB (tramite l'eccellente estensione EPUBReader di epubread.com).
Per utilizzare Read Aloud, accedi alla pagina web che desideri leggere, quindi fai clic sull'icona Read Aloud nel menu del browser. Puoi anche usare i tasti di scelta rapida ALT-P, ALT-O, ALT-Virgola e ALT-Punto per attivare l'estensione. Se è selezionato del testo, Read Aloud leggerà solo il testo selezionato. Inoltre, puoi fare clic con il pulsante destro del mouse sulla selezione di testo e avviare Read Aloud dal menu contestuale.
Per modificare la voce, la velocità di lettura, il tono o abilitare l'evidenziazione del testo, accedi alla pagina Opzioni tramite il pulsante a forma di ingranaggio nel popup dell'estensione (dovrai interrompere la riproduzione per visualizzare il pulsante a forma di ingranaggio). Puoi anche accedere alla pagina Opzioni dal menu contestuale facendo clic con il pulsante destro del mouse sull'icona dell'estensione.
Nel popup dell'estensione, sono presenti pulsanti per aumentare/diminuire le dimensioni della finestra popup, la dimensione del carattere e per attivare/disattivare la modalità scura.

- worked good for about a week and now won't work at all

- Not bad, but it's bothersome to constantly switch languages manually. I wish there were preferred voices settings for each language. Currently you can only pick full auto (which picks not the best voices), or single manual voice. So every time I'm running text-to-speech in a different language, I have to manually pick the right voice.
- Dani Plum
- It's kinda janky sometimes like if I close the little menu when its reading it continues reading but stops when I open it again. The voices are robotic but you can change them if you look into the settings. Overall it's not that bad and you can def just ignore the faults and get through with using it.
- Himanshu Saha
- Have eased my pain a ton.
- Luke K
- Works very well, I like to use the MacOS English United States Samantha Voice.
- Sam Jones (Emulas)
- Works well enough and does nearly exactly what I want it to do. Contains volume and speed controls to modulate for comprehension speed. Stutters slightly at the end of each line. Would also be nice if the speed cap were increased.
- Aimee Harvey
- It's free, it works, and I don't have to wait for the time to be able to use it again.
- GT PC
- Good extension. It does what it is supposed to do but, IMHO, has a huge improvement opportunity. When a line ends without a period, for example, on a title or in bullet points, the reader continues reading the next line as if it were part of the previous one.

- Default robot voices works for swedish. Absolutely nothing else works. It just hangs. Edge already supports the robot voice, so this app literally serves no purpose except to waste your time with the hope of getting additional voice support only to instead waste your time.
- Miles Roberts (Mylo9000)
- I've been using this extension for years and its even better when using Piper voices. If there was one feature i would add, it would be a pronunciation editor. Sometimes, no matter what voice you choose, it gets tripped up on some words and pronounces them very wrong. I would love to be able to set up a rule to replace chosen words with an alternative so it would at least sound correct. Other than that, I totally recommend this extension for anyone and everyone. Especially those that are like me and will always take the free option. Especially if its open-source.
- Ayla Stone
- It helps with lessons so I can read with it and hear it at the same time.
- Chris Combe
- works well, good controls and compatability with voice enginers including API keys for providers, also works well with google play books and much more! I wish there was a mobile version of this plugin too.
- Rafael D
- I really like this extension, it's very useful to me. Since presenting Supertonic voices, I install them but every time I close chrome I get Microsoft Zira's default voice and Supertonic is uninstalled.
- Sophia Murphy
- Help needed! Major bug! NOTE: I did fix this by holding control and changing the page size with my scroll wheel. I'm shocked I thought of it even, but I use that functionality fairly regularly so most won't think of it at all and you needed to know about it asap as it renders the main function of the app inaccessible. I've been using the app for over a year and this is my first run in with it. BUG: When I click on options and the pop-up appears, the text that says 'Account logout' at the top doesn't know wether to put the word 'logout' on the same line or the line below it and so the pop-up is resizing itself at (i checked to give you an accurate number) 240bpm or 4 times a second, making it unusable. I can click on drop down boxes for example but they instantly disappear again. Luckily I already have a fantastic voice (piper alba medium) picked but you needed to know, because the app is superb. Its made a huge difference to me as someone with adhd to help me 'read' stuff I need to have read for deadlines that otherwise, my adhd can make literally impossible at times so thank you. Review: A friend asked me to design their novel cover and interiors and so I need to read the book, but on my own that is simply never going to happen. Not without Read Aloud! :D I know you didn't record the voices, but as a scottish woman, I really appreciate how diverse the voices are, that I could find a voice that was so familiar to me and thus makes it so much easier for me to listen for extended periods of time. Otherwise, again with adhd, can be such a barrier that I never come back to a particular task. That kind of accessibility is life changing for someone like me so thank you. Have a great week!
- Charlie A
- I can't believe I found something that runs so well and I don't have to pay an exorbitant amount for. I initially downloaded this to help my adhd brain read about my hobbies but it's definitely going to be a huge help for classes and work too.
- Armando Vega
- It's really bad. It struggles to open and work. It is SO slow an un-responsive.
- Burns
- This is a really nice extension, it's got lots of voices which is nice.
- Christina Little
- how do you pause the voice?
- varun vaibhav tiwari
- works well
- Thushar Manoj 25BAI1418
- works like a charm even in difficult wordings
- Isabella Truman
- I have used this extension for four or five years now, and it is such a lifesaver! it works on websites, pdfs, etc., you can change the voice, change the speed, pause it, stop it, skip ahead on content, go back to content you may have missed. it's completely free, yet works better and has more options than any other text-to-speech service or extension i've ever found. genuinely i don't know what i would do w/o this extension, it's the only way i got thru undergrad reading, and it's now the only way i'm getting thru law school reading. i'm so grateful!!
- Wizards are Cool
- the text to speech is jarring and for some reason I cant change the voice, but other than that, it works.
- Raja Kumail Ali Nasir
- pdf reader isnt working
- Tim Pritchard
- So good for a free extension. Great selection of voices, too
- Lâm Trần
- I'm happy with this reader, but please add options to adjust the reading speed and voice pitch.
- Rory
- It reads stuff marked with aria-hidden and skips over plain text not marked as hidden.
- Christy Gilbert
- The only bad thing about this is that the voices are too robotic and not very human. When these guys are reading a story back to me I would like to hear the human in their voices as well as emotion.
- Mark
- Worked fine in Win 10. Switched to Win 11 and now it consistently skips the first few words of each paragraph. Tried it in several browsers and it performed the same... skipping the first few words. Pretty much unusable for me now. Looking for other alternatives.
- Ashish Alexander
- Cons: cannot read from different part of the big group of text, like other extensions can Pros: can use Edge natural voices
- Robert van Rees
- I use Read Aloud to proof read texts in multiple languages. Combining the strength of the written words and the FREE voices to hear if I made mistakes that were not caught by the spellchecker. I use it predominantly on Grammerly web app. But it also helps read any other website. It's best asset is that Read Aloud lets you add FREE voices, as well as the usual Microsoft, Amazon, and Google voices in many languages.
- Robert McCurdy
- SuperTonic F5 its faster then kokoro TTS!
- Francis Rokicki
- so good! a tip u should use is to highlight the text u wanna read instead of relying on it auto read to read the whole page becuase sometimes that can be unreliable.
- Linux Lambatan
- poor
- James X
- works perfect
- c a
- Used to work fine, but now when reading YouTube comments section, skips/doesn't read a lot of comments
- Johannes Hejslet Jørgensen
- Very useful, but not perfect. Often detects the wrong language, and missing settings for default languages. Also buggy reading of acronyms, which often make it hard to understand. Example: "PHP 8.5". In my contexts that will always be a specific version of the programming language "PHP". But it is read as "8 Philippine pesos and 50 centavos"
- Zhiqing 芷晴 (Kelly)
- Works great, but the included voices are pretty robotic and have low overall voice quality.
- Dreyden Painter
- good
- Rishaan arora
- ery good but works on limited sites
- Vasu M
- confusing , not working properly, installed not visible on chrome header, when choose file path nothing happens, useless
- Aditi Bhandari
- there should be some controlls added like keyboard controls to pause back play n all
- Shubham Parihar
- This extension is really very good , easy to use , i can easily change the voice , pitch and speed , works well with almost everything on chrome , thanks for this , i use it pretty regularly.

- Margarita Madlangbayan
- The software is easy to use. I just wish it had visible buttons to slow reading pace.
- AAnn
- Doesn't read pdf
- Dishi
- So accessible, easy and pretty.
- Trisha Phan
- I HATE how robotic it sounds, it makes it very difficult to process information. It also makes sentences sound like run-ons making it even worse
