Selection Reader (Text to Speech) Extension

Other text to speech extensions are bloated, slow, and often critically flawed- they're unable to read out more than around 250 characters at a time without cutting out! Not to mention the shady permissions they require.

Selection Reader is simple, fast, and can read out near-unlimited text at once. Just select the text and right click!

Tiffany Top (ID: 0000008be5df88ae) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/30/2024 If you need assistance reading text on all websites this is the help you need. But this application does not always read the whole highlighted text will pause and then stop reading.

Joshua R. Bartko (ID: 0000009312ec5097) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/21/2024 ╬ So far soooo good. simple and effective. my ONLY problem is that I'm having a hard time getting it to save settings and keep'em that way. I set rate of speech to 'fast' but it loves to constantly default back to 'normal'. If i could get it to stay on the 'fast' speech setting, then i would describe it as perfect. Less is more when it comes to certain tools and what you need from them. This one fits that category, as it does Exactly what you need, no more, no less. Works great & no unnecessary bloat included....something that's rare anymore. I could kiss the dev for being a decent human being on this spoken front. But since my kisses are for the misses, please settle for a well deserved...KUDOS! Kudos to the dev for getting it right! ╬ *(apprec, brodega!) **UPDATE**:(3.21.24) Still the best on(my) Win 11 PC(IMO of course), & light on resources too!

Antônio Carlos de Souza Júnior (ID: 000000eacb7a6348) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/30/2023 Apesar do navegador Google Chrome ser excelente a extensão de voz do microsoft edge é bem superior contando com duas vozes diverentes ajuste de velocidade. em suma essa extensão é péssima apesar da proposta ser boa
