What is Talkie: text-to-speech, many languages!?

Talkie: text-to-speech, many languages! is a handy Chrome extension enabling users to convert text to speech in over 40 languages for an improved web browsing experience. It allows you to listen to selected content on any webpage, automatically detects the language of the text, and matches it with an equivalent voice. Talkie prioritizes user privacy by processing all text and speech internally without employing unnecessary tracking or external services. It leverages your browser's built-in Web Speech API for TTS, known as Speech Synthesis. An upgrade to Talkie Premium offers added perks like voice selection, speed adjustment, and reading text from the clipboard across various programs.
