Hi Jim,

Recite Me is one such plugin which is used here in the UK:
https://reciteme.com/

I am not a fan of such plugins, but was asked to test one in my previous role.

As for Recite Me, it does read aloud the content of the web page, but only when the content to be read out is selected using a mouse. So a screen reader user won't be able to get it to read any content. Then again, this is probably not meant for screen reader users. When Recite Me is activated, it tends to clutter the page with all the options it offers if one forgets to close it, so not ideal at all.

You can see it in action here:
