Read Aloud uses text-to-speech (TTS) technology to convert webpage text to audio. It works on a variety of websites, including news sites, blogs, fan fiction, publications, textbooks, school and class websites, and online university course materials.
Read Aloud allows you to select from a variety of text-to-speech voices, including those provided natively by the browser, as well as by text-to-speech cloud service providers such as Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, IBM Watson, and Microsoft. Some of the cloud-based voices may require additional in-app purchase to enable.
Read Aloud can read PDF, Google Docs, Google Play books, Amazon Kindle, and EPUB (via the excellent EPUBReader extension from epubread.com).
Read Aloud is intended for users who prefer to listen to content instead of reading, those with dyslexia or other learning disabilities, and children learning to read.
To use Read Aloud, navigate to the web page you want to read, then click the Read Aloud icon on the Chrome menu. In addition, the shortcut keys ALT-P, ALT-O, ALT-Comma, and ALT-Period can be used to Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind, and Forward. You may also select the text you want to read before activating the extension. Right clicking on the selected text will provide you with yet another option to activate Read Aloud via the context menu.
To change the voice, reading speed, pitch, or enable text highlighting, go to the Options page either by right clicking on the Read Aloud icon and choose Options, or by clicking the Gear button on the extension popup (you’ll need to stop playback to see the Gear button).
Read Aloud is an open-source project. If you wish to contribute bug fixes or translations, please visit the GitHub page at https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud.

superb
This app is really helpful to me, I have a hard time concentrating on the reading for school, and having the text to speech helps a lot.
There is one small bug though. The program says “percent o o” whenever there is an fl, ff, or fi present in a word. so difference sounds like D I percent o o E R ence. It’s really distracting, and hard to understand what’s being read sometimes because of this.
Overall, would recommend this program.
Works quite well, most of the time. The hotkeys are a great addition. Biggest error imo is that pauses after a period are too long, and there is no pause between different paragraphs that do not have a period between them. Basically all punctuation needs a retiming for how long a pause should be. But otherwise it reads it nicely, and there is a huge selection of voices to choose from.
It’s easy to use and works well. However, I hope there’s a way to shorten the pauses between sentences so that the overall reading speed can be increased.
A must have tool for bloggers to proofread!
nice bc now i dont have to read anything.
Exactly what I was looking for. Works great so far. I can set it to read a tab while I multitask on other tabs. I used to have a google extention that did that but I couldn’t get it to work anymore. I would just highlight text and then it would read what I highlighted. Haven’t tried that with this one yet, but I really like the ease of use it has.

It needs to add a checkbox of “Skip Wikipedia reference numbers.”, and remove stuff in Wikipedia like: “edit source” too.

This helps me SO MUCH with my Dyslexia thank you so much 🙂
This is my favorite web reader I’ve tried yet, and I’ve tried a LOT! I like that it’s simple and easy to use and so far I haven’t had it have any issues finding and reading text on any of the sites I’ve used it on unlike other web readers I’ve tried. I would love the option to change the color of the text highlight and in the voice options it’d be nice to be able to see with the sliding bars what amount I’ve changed it but aside from that I love this extension!
its nice to not have to read myself

This extension is amazing. say, is there a way to incorporate a highlighting tracer to each paragraph in the file that was read. sometimes i get lost to where the computer is reading, a tracer would be nice.
amazing! very useful!
Great! The only extension that actually reads in Ukrainian (and the quality is great!)
I have to go an enable wavenet permissions every single time I use this extension and I often run into a problem where it just stops reading in the middle of the text. It is so annoying.
This is a great extension! I love being able to have an article read in the background while I work. I would like to see the highlighting on the page itself but it is still the best extension on the market IMO.
É bom, mas ainda corta algumas frases ou palavras no final da frase. Ainda tem a questão da segurança já que ele coleta informações muito importantes como Informações de autenticação
Por exemplo: senhas, credenciais, perguntas de segurança ou PIN (Número de identificação pessoal).
