Summary
Reader speaks the text you select on a webpage. A keyboard shortcut allows easy reading of selected text by paragraph.
Click the address bar button to enable or disable speak on selection for individual websites. The context menu item and the keyboard shortcut are always enabled.
User reviews
I really like this one. It just works. It would be even better with a wider choice of voices. The current selection of voices are barely tolerable for reading longer texts.
