Description

Listen to the web using text to speech to assist with comprehension--to give your eyes a break. New in 2024 - AI-Powered website summaries (otherwise known as TLDR). This feature allows you to generate a concise summary of any webpage with a click. WebOutLoud reads websites out loud using the free voices that are already available in your web browser with the option to upgrade your experience to include Premium voices. No text selection is required. It will automatically continue reading paragraph after paragraph. Not only that, it will highlight words as it reads them and remember where you left off. Give your eyes a break! Just navigate to any web page and hit play. WebOutLoud will read web pages using text to speech. * It reads pretty much any webpage you can throw at it. * Highlights words and paragraphs as it reads. * Summarize websites with AI (requires premium subscription). * Tell the app where to begin reading using Touch Assist, or enable the powerful Reader Mode to isolate readable content automatically. * Dozens of voices to choose from (selection of free voices is dependent on operating system and extensions.) The WebOutLoud browser extension for Chrome is free to use with the voices that are built-in to your browser. Premium voices and the AI website summary feature require a premium subscription. A premium subscription also gives you access to all features of WebOutLoud's iOS and Mac apps and the browser extension for Safari (available on both desktop and mobile).

Absolutely worthless. Cant even get the app to turn on, much less actually read something.

Requires sign-up! Useless. Not mentioned anywhere in the description

Forces you to download iPhone APP ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ enable push notifications- just to use a simple chrome TTS extension? And only tells you ๐™–๐™›๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง it makes you sign up with email/password? ๐Ÿ˜‘ If you add *๐™๐™š๐™ฆ๐™ช๐™ž๐™ง๐™š๐™จ ๐˜ฟ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ฃ๐™ก๐™ค๐™–๐™™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ž๐™‹๐™๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™š ๐˜ผ๐™‹๐™‹ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™€๐™ฃ๐™–๐™—๐™ก๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™‹๐™ช๐™จ๐™ ๐™‰๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™›๐™ž๐™˜๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™จ ๐™๐™ž๐™ง๐™จ๐™ฉ* to the top of your description I will remove this review and re-consider reporting abuse.

All it wants me to do is download their app on my phone, doesn't do its job.

no, there is no speaking in multiple languages, there's ONLY the 'native' option of voice. if my IP is from brazil, it will read a text in english in native portuguese. besides, it requires sign in and once you do that it requires another sign in to iOS for push notifications. it's useless.

It sounds, very, unnatural making, it almost worth dash, less at, times. the speech, is so, broken that, I, would, rather, read, it, all to, myself. Exhausting to, try to listen, to every, time. IS THERE ANY HOPE here? seems like it makes a run of words together here and there - but it is so bad I've got to keep looking for a product that works well enough to use. I have epub readers that I use - but I have to use downloaded epub files. I want a web reader for protected files (one users can't download without hacks). Please Let me know if I'm doing something wrong or need to pay for the service to fix this.

It first makes you sign up and once you do it says you must download an iphone app to continue. I am using this on my chrome browser and so dont want or need the app on my iphone. I cant seem to use it without downloading it so will need to uninstall. As im uninstalling, please can you delete my sign up credentials.
