There is a problem that I cannot use when I put the IP key. It gives me that the AIP key is invalid and I am creating the AIP key for elevenlabs and I am sure that it is correct and give all the permissions but it does not work.

Use piper, or other.... want something free... use the elevenlabs reader app on mobile (it doesn't use your API key...) this i don't see the value in the app i am giving it a 1 star because you didn't figure out an option for free tts....

For some reason, it doesn't work on certain sites. For example, when I try to get it to read any section of this article (https://darioamodei.com/machines-of-loving-grace), the play button just spins forever. Also, the built-in keyboard shortcut to get it to read selected text is 'Ctrl-h', which is ALSO the History shortcut in Chrome. Why would they choose a shortcut that is already in use for the very browser this extension is made for? Poorly planned, and buggy.
