ReadText (Text to Speech Reader) Extension

Ever feel like there's just too much to read and not enough time?
I get it.
That's why I created ReadText during my weekends – to help folks like us who love to learn, want to get work done faster, and hate the eyestrain.

== Here's what ReadText can do for you ==

➤ Turn any webpage into your personal audiobook
Just click the ReadText icon, and boom – your browser starts reading to you. It's like magic, but without the pointy hat.

➤ Jump around the text like a pro
See an interesting bit? Hover, click, and ReadText starts right there. No more losing your place or scrolling endlessly.

➤ Make it sound just right
Speed it up when you're in a hurry, slow it down when you need it to. Change voices when you get bored. It's all right there in the reading bar.

➤ Your browser just learned new languages
With over 30 languages and 100 accents, ReadText is ready for your next international adventure. (Also, there is way to add new languages seamlessly by you)

➤ All the good stuff, none of the bad
Everything's free. No ads, no sneaky upgrades, no \"premium\" features. Just straightforward, helpful tech.

➤ Your secrets are safe with You!
We don't know what you're reading, and we don't want to. Your data stays on your computer where it belongs.

Also!, I'm just one person working on this in my spare time because I believe reading should be easier for everyone. If you run into any problems or have ideas to make ReadText even better for you and your friends, let me know! I'll do my best to fix issues and add cool new stuff as quickly as I can.

Adios my friend!

Rish C (ID: 00000081bb5889d5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/06/2023 I am often multi-tasking so I'm always looking for a good text-to-speech program. This one works well, the "Google US English" female voice is pleasant to listen to. there are no intrusive ads. Really impressed. Simple and straight forward.

Manjari Ashok (ID: 0000000c46ae0403) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/28/2023 Great text to speech extension I have used so far. I have greater control over what I want to read now and not like other TTS whihc reads everything and sometimes misses words also the buttons looks cute. Is there any way I can change the colours?
