Now Google Chrome will read the Website for you…!!!


As you know Google Chrome is the most used web browser now. I have already posted few post on Google.
Now I tell you how Google Chrome will read the Website for you…!!!
When you visit a website you might have off coursed thought that if anyone could have read it for you that have been better, now Google Chrome will do for you. Yes all you have to do is visit a website select the content of the website that you want to read and Chrome will read it for you.
That sounds interesting isn’t it…??? Yeah… and this can be done by adding a new extension of Chrome called as select and speech .
Select and Speech can be easily added to chrome for free and in a minute. All you have to do is visit Webstore of Chrome. The just follow the below steps:-
Click on add to Chrome button to download the plugin.
You will be prompted for installation click Installation.


Now this is added to your browser, even you will see a shortcut for it on your Chrome.
Select and Speak uses iSpeech’s human sounding text to speech (TTS) to let you select text from almost any website and make it talk. Now I tell you how to use it, just follow the below steps:-
First select the text you want it to read.
Then click on the icon of the extension.
When it is ready to read, it also shows the number of sentences on the icon.
It also provides you many options for the voice as well you can also change the voice by going to extension option page (see video for more details).


This Chrome extension sends the text that you select to iSpeech servers using your Internet connection as it is Cloud TTS service (aka SaaS or Software as a Service).  Even if you are a programmer then you can use it for development as well.
See the below video for the demo of Select and Text:-
