This extension is better than most and took me a while to find something comparable to speechify without having to pay for an overpriced service

its pretty good!

Out of all the text to speech tools I've tried I like this one the best. It still has some flaws, like it can be hard to start up, or it pauses too long on commas and periods, but even with that it gets the job done.
