I like to use Apple's 'Text to Speech' option (under System Preferences → Dictation and Speech) to have my computer read things to me like articles and whatnot. However, the keyboard shortcut to make this happen just suddenly stopped working properly in Google Chrome.
Normally, you just select some text with your mouse, then press the keyboard shortcut (which I have set to Option + Tab), and then the computer voice reads the selected text to you.
This keyboard shortcut still works in other applications like Finder and Firefox, but when I do so in Chrome it doesn't read the selected text - instead, it reads the
<title>
Web Page's Name</title>
and that's it. If I highlight the text, right click → Speech → Start Speaking, then it'll work like normal and read the text aloud.
So if that works, then why can't I use the keyboard shortcut to use text to speech anymore?

Text To Speech For Mac For Firefox Mobile
I have struggled with this problem for a long time but I have found the solution/problem. The text to speech function only doesn't work properly when the window isn't in fullscreen. If you click the little green dot and the left hand corner of the window you'll put the window into fullscreen mode. If the little yellow dot is not greyed out This means you are not in fullscreen mode. Looking at your screenshots It doesn't look like you're in full screen mode as the little yellow dot isn't greyed out.
I appreciate this is not the correct place to post this, But if you rely on this function as i do this information could be life-changing.

I recently installed MacOS Mojave and now the 'Text to Speech' function works perfectly, just like it used to.
While this didn't identify what was causing the problem, it did solve it.

This is code for a little website with images and TTS.When you click on the number 1, 2 and 3 you should hear a dutch voice and also when you click on the 3 images with a '?'.In Firefox, everything is ok. I hear 6 different numbers but not in Chrome.In Chrome I hear 1, 2, and 3 but the 4, 5 and 6 under the images don't work.As you can see in the code, the only difference is the image added.I keep the scripts at the bottom so the images can load first.I am searching for hours (days) but no result.
and here the script:
Under 's there was the native, which was replaced in by, which combines features of a text editor with those typical of a word processor such as rulers, margins and multiple font selection.

Officially an img element should not have child elements/html, so the behavior when you modify the innerHTML is undefined.
Instead of adding innerHTML to your elements, you could try adding a data attribute to each:
I made a couple edits to make my suggested code more compatible with yours
Here is a jsFiddle to show the functionality
