ClaroRead Chrome Extension

Free extension with a few Premium features, see below.

Speak any text on a website by selecting it, point with the mouse to hear text and links and captions, or click Play to hear sentences read out with highlighting to let you keep track of where you are.

Read Google Docs documents back to you so you can proof your work and fix any errors.

Speak accessible PDFs opened in Google Chrome with highlighting by clicking the Play button.

Hear letters, words or sentences spoken back as you type. Simply type in to web pages and hear what you type as you type it. For letters, hear the letter names or sounds spoken back to you, whichever helps you understand better.

Turn on a coloured overlay so pages are tinted to the colour you find easiest to read - no more glaring black on white text.

Change the speed of the spoken voice, slower for comprehension, faster for efficiency.

Activate word prediction to help you with writing and composition - find that elusive word you want. Now includes subject-specific prediction dictionaries and larger base dictionaries!

Read the contents of Google Docs extensions aloud so your support tools speak.

PREMIUM FEATURES!

Upgrade to a Premium subscription and also gain:

● Scan from Screen, so you can select inaccessible images like Google Books and hear them read aloud.

● Spelling and Homophone checking in Google Docs, Microsoft Office 365 Word Online and other editable text areas.

● Speech Recognition. Enter text in to documents and text areas of web pages through dictation.

● Reading with highlighting in Microsoft Office 365 Word.

● More online text-to-speech voices.

From the developers of ClaroRead for Mac and Windows and the ClaroSpeak and ClaroPDF Apps.

Harper Sandner (ID: 00000083c49dcc64) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/16/2023 it used to work just fine in just as just a chrome applecation but after it changed paret company or rebranding, idk dont care, it's just worthless now. have been useing it for close to 6 years and more and more things are just removed with no explonation. it just is not funktional anymore.

Selina Geboers (ID: 00000037895bbc63) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/29/2023 Ik heb de extensie tijdens mijn afstudeerproject gebruikt en had het echt niet zonder kunnen doen, nu missen er opeens een aantal features zoals het sneller lezen van tekst waar ik echt niet zonder kan. Als dit achter een paywall zit kan ik die niet vinden en wil ze graag terug hebben. Ik wil er best voor betalen, maar de site en extensie zelf zijn super onduidelijk.

Adrian Milic Nordström (ID: 0000003d03bfb0f0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/09/2021 Thats so sussy

ella renting (ID: 0000001389aacd3c) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/06/2021 You removed the voice that i was using for English :(, it was name Zira or something. Hope it return in the next update if that happens i will give it 5 stars.
