RasTeck TTS Reader is a Text to Speech web Extension that reads aloud the content of Web Pages using the standard existing text to speech engines of your operating systems. It has three main reading scenarios
- 1: It can read selected text.
- 2: It can start reading a page from the begging to the end of the page.
- 3: When reading a page you can click anywhere on the page and RasTeck TTS Reader will skip to the element at that point and starts reading the sentence at that cursor position.
NOTIFICATION - Volume changes will take effect during the begging of the next sentence and not emidietly after your click.
- This extension will not work on some pages. These may include system page like
- about:addons, about:debugging, about:config.
- Some modzila.org Web Pages and,
- RasTeck TTS Reader may not be able to read dynamic pages such as Google, yahoo, Microsoft and some others.
- If RasTeck TTS Reader is forced to read content on these pages, the highlighting effect and continuity of speech processing is not guaranteed.
- RasTeck TTS Reader cannot read Pdf files that are embedded in a web page unless if such a file is converted into an HTML document. So some browser may convert PDF to HTML by default.
- The highlight word option does not often match the spoken word to the highlighted word, this is because the speech engine runs on a different thread to JavaScript. Because of this lack in 100% match between the highlighted word and spoken word, the words highlight option is not set as the default highlighting option
click operations may not work at the first click but will work on subsequent clicks
