High quality text-to-speech reader capable of seamlessly reading large amounts of text.
The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Selection Reader (Text to Speech)
Other text to speech extensions are bloated, slow, and often critically flawed - they're unable to read out more than around 250 characters at a time without cutting out! Not to mention the shady permissions they require.
Selection Reader is simple, fast, and can read out unlimited text for FREE. Just select the text and right click! It's really that simple, and there's no catch.
NEW: You can now also read out an entire article automatically by clicking the extension icon without selecting any tet.
