Crierwick: Text to Speech Reader di Zydeno

Crierwick reads web pages aloud: a text to speech reader that works right on the page, with the voices already on your computer.

Press the toolbar button or Alt+Shift+L. Crierwick finds the article, leaves out menus, share buttons and cookie notices, and starts reading in the same tab. The sentence being read glows on the page, and a small player in the corner takes you back or forward one sentence, changes the speed or folds away.

• Read the whole article, just a selection, or start at any paragraph with Read from here
• The current sentence is highlighted on the page, and the page scrolls along
• Continue later: Crierwick remembers the sentence you stopped at on each page
• Speed from 0.5× to 3×, pitch and volume, heard at once
• A voice for each language: German pages get your German voice, English pages your English one
• Online voices are marked as such and stay hidden until you turn them on
• Skip web addresses, text in brackets, footnote marks and code blocks
• Your own pronunciation list for names and terms the voice gets wrong
• Keyboard shortcuts to start, pause, read the selection, read faster or slower
• Light and dark theme, 16 interface languages, works with the keyboard alone

Private by design. Crierwick has no account, no server and no analytics. It works only on the tab you start it on, after your click, menu choice or shortcut, and never asks for access to all websites. Settings, your word list and saved places stay in this browser; you can export them to a file.

Works offline in Firefox and Opera. The voices come from your system, so a page sounds the same as in your other apps. Help explains how to add more voices to your system.

This version is free.

Permissions: activeTab lets Crierwick read only the tab you start it on; scripting puts the reader and the player into that tab; contextMenus adds Read from here and Read selection; storage keeps settings and saved places in this browser; tts (Opera only) plays the voices.
