Select and Speak Extension

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.
