Extension summary

Click on the Speak button in the toolbar to speak the text selection in the webpage. If there is no text selection in the webpage, the webpage content is spoken. While the speech is in progress, the badge on the button shows the remaining percentage of the text to be spoken. Clicking on the button pauses the speech. Once paused, if you click on the button within one second the speech is cancelled. After one second, clicking on the button resumes the speech.

Some voices may not support the event to indicate a word was spoken. Therefore it may not be possible to show the remaining percentage badge. Choose a different voice using options.
