TextSpeecher: Text to Speech
Turn any selected text into a pleasant voice with TextSpeecher. This handy tool uses text-to-speech (TTS) technology to transform webpage text into audio. Compatible with a wide range of websites, including news platforms, blogs, and online course materials, TextSpeecher provides the flexibility to choose from various text-to-speech voices available in your browser.
Not only can TextSpeecher read web content, but it also supports PDFs, Google Docs, Google Play books, Amazon Kindle, and EPUB files. This makes it a versatile tool for those who prefer listening to content rather than reading it, including individuals with dyslexia, learning disabilities, and children learning to read.
Using TextSpeecher is simple. Just navigate to the webpage you want to "listen" to, select the text you wish to hear, and click the TextSpeecher icon that appears nearby. A compact player will pop up in your browser window, allowing you to start, pause, or stop playback. Customization options such as changing the voice, adjusting the reading speed and pitch, and enabling text highlighting are also available through the extension's settings.
