For various reasons, some people need a virtual assistant to read the content of a web page. From the Google Chrome browser there are several extensions that read the selected text from a web page aloud with just two clicks. That's why we've selected the five best extensions to listen to text from Chrome. Some of these platforms can read part or all of the web page and allow you to adjust tone, volume, and reading speed, among other options. The ease of these tools is that they work from Google Chrome's context menu, which makes the reading task easier.
Selection Reader (Text to Speech)
We'll start with Selection Reader (Text to Speech), one of the users' favorite extensions to listen to selected text from a web page. All you have to do is select the text and then right-click and choose the reading option. From the extension's settings you can select the reading language (Spanish or automatic) and the reading speed.
Read Aloud
With Read Aloud you can listen in a perfect Spanish narration to the whole or selected part of the text of a web page. Its use is the same as the previous extension. Once on the web page, you right-click and from the context menu you activate the page reading. It also has very interesting additional features such as: different speakers, more than 45 languages, customizing tone, volume, and reading speed.
Talkie
Talkie is an extension that can read the selected text from a web page in 18 languages and with 21 different voices. The platform also has the option of reading the entire web page. You activate the speaker from the context menu or from the extension's icon. Spanish works perfectly.
Chrome Speak extension
Chrome Speak is a very good option for reading selected text from a web page. The environment has the same options as the other extensions, but the feature that differentiates it is the possibility of selecting scattered text from a web page and reading it fluidly. If the right-click function doesn't work from the extension, you can open a new dialog window, paste text into the frame, and then read from there.
TTSReaderX In-Page Text to Speech
TTSReaderX In-Page Text to Speech is one of the best extensions for reading selected text from a web page; its speakers and reading quality stand out from the other options. You can read from the context menu, or from a dialog box that you enable from its icon in the browser. From the settings you can select the language and reading speed.
Although in the description of the extensions I have selected the last option as the most prominent, all the extensions are very good, and the most important thing is that they work perfectly with text written in Spanish and with narration in the language of Cervantes.
