Screen Reader Extension - Text-to-Speech for Google Documents

Screen Reader Extension is a Google Chrome browser extension that makes digital content accessible by reading text aloud using text-to-speech technology. This extension helps users consume content through audio, making it ideal for people with visual impairments, reading difficulties, or those who prefer audio content.

What This Extension Does

The Screen Reader Extension converts on-screen text into spoken words, allowing users to listen to content instead of reading it. The extension works with web pages and Google Documents, providing a seamless audio reading experience.

Key Features:

Reads text aloud from Google Documents
Reads content from web pages
Provides playback controls (play, pause, stop)
Supports multiple languages and voices
Adjustable reading speed
Enhances accessibility for users with disabilities

Why We Need Access to Google Documents

This extension requires the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/documents.readonly permission to function properly. Here's why:

To read the text content from your Google Documents
To convert document text into speech for audio playback
To provide an accessible reading experience without requiring manual text copying

Important: The extension uses a read-only scope, meaning it can only read document content. It cannot modify, delete, or share your documents. All processing happens locally in your browser, and no document data is stored or transmitted to external servers.

How to Use

After installing the extension, simply open any Google Document. The extension will detect the document content and provide options to read it aloud. Use the extension's controls to play, pause, or stop the reading at any time.

Privacy and Data Usage

We are committed to protecting your privacy. The extension only accesses text content necessary for the reading functionality. No data is stored on our servers, shared with third parties, or used for any purpose other than providing the text-to-speech service. All text processing occurs locally in your browser.
