Select text on any webpage and hear it read aloud instantly with voice, speed, pause, resume, and stop controls. Highlight & Read turns selected webpage text into speech. Highlight text with your mouse and the extension reads it aloud automatically, making long articles, AI responses, documentation, emails, and other web content easier to consume. Features: • Automatically reads text after you select it with your mouse • Uses Chrome's text-to-speech support • Choose from available system voices • Adjustable reading speed • Pause, resume, and stop controls • Test Voice button for quick setup • Alt + R to read the current selection • Alt + S to stop reading • Handles long selections by reading them in smaller chunks • No account required Privacy-first design: Selected text is used only to provide text-to-speech functionality. The extension does not send selected text to developer-owned servers, does not sell user data, and does not use user data for advertising. Voice and speed preferences are stored locally in the browser.
