Speak Subtitles for YouTube
Reads YouTube subtitles out loud with synthetic voices in many languages, so you can listen to a video instead of reading captions.
Check who publishes it and what it asks to access on its Chrome Web Store page before you install it.
What it does
Speak Subtitles for YouTube turns the text captions on a YouTube video into spoken audio using synthetic voices. It is useful for viewers who would rather listen than read subtitles, such as people watching foreign-language videos or anyone with reading fatigue.
Key features
- Reads YouTube subtitle text aloud as synthesised speech while the video plays
- Uses speech technology from Google and Microsoft to generate the voices
- Offers a large choice of voices across many languages and regional variants
Use cases
- Listening to a translated-subtitle video like a rough voice dub instead of reading
- Following a lecture or tutorial while looking away from the screen
Getting started
Open a YouTube video with subtitles available, then turn on the extension and pick a voice so the captions are read out as the video plays.
Good to know
It only works when the video has subtitles to read from. The developer notes it can conflict with other YouTube extensions, so disabling those may help if it stops working.
