About Text to Speech Google Docs
Read your Google Docs and web pages aloud in a natural voice, right inside Chrome. Text to Speech Google Docs reads a whole document or just the part you select, page by page, and works the same way on web articles. It is text to speech that runs entirely in your browser: pick a voice, set the pace, and follow along as the paragraph being read is highlighted.
Key features
• Read Google Docs aloud — the whole document or only the text you select, page by page
• Read web pages and articles aloud — select a passage or let it cover the full page
• Follow-along highlighting — the paragraph being read is shaded in the popup, the document and the page
• Local, natural voices — choose from your system and Chrome voices by language
• Adjustable speed and controls — 0.25× to 3×, with play, pause, stop and skip, plus keyboard shortcuts

2. Open a Google Docs document or any web page you want to hear
3. Select the part you want, or start from the top, and press play
