Let Firefox Read Out Sentences For You

There are so many websites which let’s you convert text’s and sentences into speech but if you want Firefox to read out sentences, here is something interesting.

Text to Voice is a Firefox extension which let’s you convert text’s and sentences into Mp3′s. The MP3 file is played live on the browser and you do not have to download the file to hear it.

After the add-on is installed, highlight some text on a web page and click the small speaker icon placed at the right bottom of Firefox window.

This will open a new browser tab and the selected text will be played as an mp3 file. The Mp3 file can also be downloaded in your computer or mobile device. This can be really useful, when you do not have time to read a long article and want to hear the audio version of a web page in your Ipod or mobile device.

Here is a small screencast describing the whole process

    This is really cool. But I have dumped FF long back (despite of being the a great FF fan). I hope something like this also comes up for chrome. And a great share, by the way
