Text to Speech for Browser is a free Chrome extension that offers seamless one-click text-to-speech activation. It automatically detects the source language so you don’t have to select it manually each time. Simply hold the "Alt", "T", or "Insert" key to activate the speech feature. While the text is being read aloud, it highlights the selected text to enhance user experience.

Additionally, users can save their speech audio files in MP3 format either to their PC's hard disk or directly to Google Drive. This makes it easy to store, share, or listen to text audio later. This user-friendly tool is perfect for anyone seeking efficient text-to-speech capabilities within their browser environment.
