What's New
Latest updates to the Readox extension.
-
Filter voices by language
The voice picker now lets you filter by language, making it easier to find the right voice when you have many installed.
-
Playback reliability improvements
Various fixes to make reading aloud more consistent and reliable across different types of pages.
-
Voice preview and refresh
Preview how a voice sounds before selecting it. A new refresh button lets you reload available voices if your system adds new ones.
-
More reliable voice loading
Fixed an issue where voices could be unavailable right after opening Chrome. The extension now waits for your system's voices to load before playing.
-
Text file support
Drag and drop .txt or .md files into the sidepanel to have them read aloud. You can also use the file picker from the command bar.
-
Keyboard shortcuts for reading and summarizing
New keyboard shortcuts let you start reading or summarizing the current page or selection without touching the mouse.
-
Fixed first-click playback
Resolved an issue where the first play after opening Chrome could fail silently. Playback now works reliably from the very first click.
