What is CaptionSpeaker?
CaptionSpeaker is a Chrome extension that allows users to listen to YouTube subtitles in their chosen language. Adjustable settings in the extension permit control over the reading speed and language of the spoken subtitles. Notably, it doesn't translate videos, requiring the presence of subtitles in the desired language. It provides continued updates to enhance user experience, with features such as stopping speech when video playback is halted, setting to read only when subtitles are displayed, and more.

CaptionSpeaker is a chrome extension that allows you to hear subtitles in a specified language when they are set on youtube.

Usage

1.Right-click the CaptionSpeaker icon to open the settings (Options) and save the appropriate speaker settings (Please be sure to do so as there is a possibility that the speech may fail in the standard setting.). 2.Open the video that you want YouTube to produce subtitles for 3.Click CaptionSpeaker icon to enable subtitle speech (If the icon is green, it is on.) 4.Start playing movie (The speech starts when the subtitles appear.)

If you want to stop the subtitle speech, you can turn it off by clicking the CaptionSpeaker icon.

When speaking, the speaker is the default setting of the browser at first. For example, in a Japanese environment, the speaker is Japanese, so if you want him to speak English, please set it on the setting page (Right-click the icon to select an option, or click the icon to select Options.). You can also change the reading speed on the settings page.

When you change the speaker's language (Locale), you try to produce subtitles in that language (I sometimes fail.).
