This extension just doesn't seem to be working. It only reads in the UK English female voice, even when it's not set to auto detect. Also, it won't read in any other voice at all. For example, I selected the voice "Hindi female," and the voice wouldn't even speak.

Works like a charm. When you make a text selection, the text speaks.
