Reader: Speaks highlighted text on webpages

Reader is a free add-on for the Chrome browser developed by Oliver Moran. It falls into the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. As the name suggests, Reader allows you to have the selected text on a webpage spoken out loud.

One of the key features of Reader is its ability to read selected text by paragraph using a simple keyboard shortcut. This makes it convenient and easy to listen to the content you're interested in, without having to read it yourself.

Additionally, Reader provides an address bar button that allows you to enable or disable the speak on selection feature for individual websites. This gives you control over when and where you want the selected text to be spoken.

The context menu item and the keyboard shortcut are always enabled, ensuring that you can quickly access the functionality of Reader whenever you need it.

With its ability to speak highlighted text on webpages, Reader offers a convenient way to listen to content instead of reading it yourself.
