Overview

Reads selected text aloud using the browser's native API.

Simple TTS is a text-to-speech tool designed to be lightweight, private, and highly functional. It transforms any text on the web into audio using your browser's native text-to-speech engine, ensuring your data never leaves your device. Key Features: 🎙️ Natural and Private Reading: Uses the native chrome.tts API. No intermediary servers, no API costs, and complete privacy. 👁️ 3 Display Modes: Floating Mode: An elegant player that appears on top of the webpage. Window (Pop-out): Separates the player into a distinct window, ideal for multitasking. Background Mode: Listen to the text while browsing other tabs without visual distractions. ⏩ Full Control: Easily adjust the reading speed (0.5x to 2.0x), pause, resume, or restart sentences. 📝 Reading Queue: Select multiple texts and add them to the queue (right-click > "Add to queue") to listen to them one after the other. 🎨 Themes: Supports Light and Dark modes, adapting to your system. ⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts: Alt+R: Read selection. Alt+P: Pause/Resume. Alt+S: Stop reading. Why Simple TTS? Unlike other extensions that rely on cloud services (slow and less private), Simple TTS works offline* and is extremely fast. Ideal for students, researchers, or anyone who prefers to listen to articles while multitasking. (Offline functionality depends on the voices installed on your operating system.)
