Pericles is a Chrome add-on that offers a unique text-to-speech screen reader experience. Designed to assist visually impaired individuals, those dealing with eye strain, or anyone looking to multitask more efficiently, Pericles transforms how content is consumed. From emails and documents to websites, this free tool narrates your digital world, allowing you to listen instead of read.

With Pericles, you can enjoy a diverse voice range on Mac and a selection on Windows. The tool is incredibly easy to use, with features that enhance your reading experience. You can simply click on the Pericles icon and hit play to have it read from the top, adjusting to your scrolling. Alternatively, you can right-click on a specific point to start reading from there, even if Pericles is already narrating. Additionally, you can highlight a specific text, right-click, and select "read selection" to have Pericles focus solely on that text.

Overall, Pericles offers an immersive listening journey, allowing you to savor your meals or stay on top of chores while consuming digital content. It's a valuable companion for those who prefer audio-based consumption or need assistance with reading.
