Is Riddr - Text to Speech reader for Chrome safe?
Riddr sends selected or auto-selected page text to Google Translate TTS when reading it aloud.
When you ask Riddr to read text, it collects the current selection, configured auto-selected article or page text, or clicked element text. Its default SpeakIt engine splits that text into short chunks and loads Google Translate TTS audio URLs with each chunk in the q query parameter.
