Pericles benefits people with disabilities, eye fatigue or those who want to increase their productivity. It helps you read the news, scientific articles, and many other text resources.
Built with a varied range of voices for Mac, and a bit more limited for Windows, the app is free. So, enjoy your meal or do your chores while Pericles does the reading.
Reader has better (more authentic) sound voices than most others out there, however, the read skips pages – so not ideal.
It’s so good that I am starting to think that this is possibly the most underrated extension on the store.
I really love this one and would give it five stars. It has the highlighting function directly on the webpage, no copy-pasting, no selecting. And the voices are really good too.
But a few days ago after not using it for a while I noticed that it quite often just stops reading mid-sentence. When I go back to make it start over, it always stops at the same place in the sentence and nothing I tried could make it work.
If there’s a way to fix this I would be really grateful because I’m looking for a different one right now and basically nothing is as good as this one.
Hey, great app if you don’t have that much time to read. Also, you can plug in your headphones and do something else ( so, yeah great app for multitasking )
Great work, best TTS on Chromium.
Works great.
It’s been working okay for me for a while but now… no hotkeys work and the highlighting isn’t anywhere Near what ever it is reading. It is also extremely annoying that you don’t get a choice where it starts to read, you press play it’s gonna scroll all the way up and read the top of the page, not what I’m actually looking it, where I am
Pretty good, the only problem is the only one that wasn’t acting weird was the android voice. You also can’t choose certain sections you want to be read
The best test to speech extension I have found to date thanks for making this extension .
Just plain errors, not working.
has no Portuguese from Portugal language 🇵🇹
The one who works best so far!
I’ve tried several of these simply because sometimes it’s easier to listen to a page than read it. This one is by far the best.
Хорошо озвучивает выделенный текст.
Есть настройки скорости чтения текста, тембра голоса, громкости.
Т.е. можно отрегулировать громкость озвучивания текста, включить в плеере музыку – вуаля, чтение текста под музыкальны фон.
Работает с текстом на многих языках, включая Русский.
Есть кнопки Старт и Стоп.
В общем – Всё Шикарно.
!!! Для озвучивания выделенного текста без сбоев – нужно снять выделение этого текста !!!
I have tried almost all TTS extensions for chrome and I rated them with:
1- speed rate of speech
2- support of SAPI5
3- good native highlight
And this app so far THE BEST one for final combine evaluation. It coud be even better if You add max speed of voices. Its good fast speed but not maximum of my SAPI5 voices.
there one extension wich can speak a lot faster but has no SAPI5.
BUT OVERAL THIS EXTENSION ALMOST PERFECT.
THANK YOU.
and please implement support for max speed of speech rate
The voice and cadence is one of the best from these types of programs. 1 bug is that it stops on me frequently, I have to prompt it again–it might be because of PDF designs that are complicated with columns and text boxes. 1 feature I wish it would have is customization on what the reader will automatically read. For exmp, being able to check ‘ignore items in parenthesis,’ could turn academic articles more coherent than they have ever been.
smart
Amazing app. The best I’ve found! The only thing is that when I tap “K” to pause, it instead goes to the next sentence. I wonder if anyone else had this issue. Cheers!
It looks fine and seems to work for other people, but it doesn’t work on my pc
Awesome extension
This thing is spectacular! I set it to speak faster then I read, which ends up saving me time.
Now I read more. Have you ever browsed across a long article that looks interesting but you don’t want to put in the time or effort to read the entire thing. Just click play on the Pericles extension. It underlines the words as it speaks them, making it easy to follow along.
Failed to work most of the time… Uninstalled.
Great work! Awesome extension! 🙂
The available voices sound good and the reading is fluid and understandable, even when the text being read contains more difficult parts. I especially love the ability to click a sentence and start reading from there.
The only improvement I can think of right now is to keep the position in the text for a longer period, because sometimes I switch tabs briefly and when I come back and press `K` again it starts reading from the top of the page.
Definitely recommend this!
Best product on the market for reading your webpage.
Really easy to use! Great work!!!
