Description

Selected text and clipboard content can be read aloud with a simple text-to-speech helper.

This tool is useful for accessibility, proofreading, language learning, or reducing eye strain when reading short text. It does not decide whether text is private; it speaks the content made available to it.

Clipboard and selected text may contain passwords, personal messages, or documents. Avoid triggering speech on sensitive content.
