Vibereader Text To Speech

Here is a store-ready description you can paste into the Chrome Web Store long description field:
VibeReader is a simple, private text-to-speech extension for Chrome that reads selected text aloud directly on supported web pages.
Select any text on a page and VibeReader shows a small floating control near your selection so you can start listening immediately. Playback uses your browser's built-in speech synthesis, which means your text is spoken locally in the browser without sending it to an external text-to-speech service for normal use.
VibeReader is designed for people who want a lightweight reading assistant without clutter, ads, account creation, or unnecessary permissions.
What VibeReader can do
• Read selected text aloud on supported web pages
• Show a floating play and pause control next to your text selection
• Open a compact control panel for playback controls
• Let you choose from available system voices
• Let you switch language and voice when multiple voices are available
• Highlight the current spoken word in real time when supported by the page and browser
• Minimize or expand the control panel while listening
• Keep playback simple, fast, and focused
Why use VibeReader
• Helpful for long articles, blog posts, emails, study materials, and online reading
• Useful for multitasking while listening to selected text
• Can support accessibility and reading comfort
• Uses the browser's built-in speech features instead of relying on a remote service for normal playback
• No accounts, no sign-up flow, and no ads inside the extension
How it works
1. Open a supported web page
2. Select the text you want to hear
3. Click the floating play button
4. Use the control panel to pause playback or change language and voice
Privacy
VibeReader is built with privacy in mind.
• Your selected text is processed locally through the browser's speech synthesis features for normal playback
• VibeReader does not require unnecessary runtime permissions
• VibeReader does not collect, store, or transmit personal data for normal use
• No analytics, tracking scripts, or user accounts are required
Notes
• Available voices depend on your browser, operating system, and installed voices
• Some browser pages and restricted pages do not allow extensions to run
• Word highlighting depends on browser support and page structure, so it may vary across websites
If you want a clean and straightforward way to listen to selected text while you browse, VibeReader keeps the experience simple: select, click, and listen.
