Description
Reads web pages, PDFs and documents aloud with 300+ natural voices for free. Word highlighting, no account, minimal permissions. Text to Speech – Read Aloud reads web pages, PDFs and e-books to you in a natural-sounding voice. Click the toolbar button and it reads the article itself, skipping menus and ads, and highlights each word as it is spoken so you can follow along. NATURAL VOICES AT NO COST Choose from more than 300 natural voices in over 140 languages and accents. There is no account to create and no monthly limit. When a page is in another language, a matching voice is picked for you, and the voices you choose are remembered. FOLLOW ALONG ON THE PAGE The sentence being read is highlighted and the page scrolls with the voice. To start somewhere else, Alt+click a paragraph or right-click and choose "Read aloud from here". Select text first to hear just that part. KEEP LISTENING WHILE YOU BROWSE A small player on the page lets you pause, skip and change speed. If you close the tab, reading carries on, and the popup brings the text back where you left off. READER VIEW FOR DOCUMENTS AND BOOKS Open a PDF, an e-book or an office document, or paste any text, in a clean Reader view with chapters in a sidebar, light, sepia and dark themes, and a library that remembers your place. You can also save a chapter, a range of pages or a whole book as an MP3 to listen to later. SETTINGS THAT FIT YOU Adjust speed, pitch and volume, add your own pronunciations for names and abbreviations, set a sleep timer, and use keyboard shortcuts to play, pause and skip. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics and no tracking. The extension only reads a page when you ask it to and does not request access to all your websites. The text being read is sent only to the voice service you choose; voices installed on your computer keep it on your device.
