FAQ

Does it work offline?

Yes. TTS Selection Reader uses the browser's local speech synthesis engine, so no data ever leaves your machine.

Can I pause or stop playback?

Toggle auto-read, stop from the context menu, or rely on the built-in idle timeout that stops after five silent seconds.

Which voices are available?

All voices that your operating system and browser expose. The preview above lets you test the available options.
