| 2024-01-11 |  | | en | Found you on reddit after a long journey of searching a adequate tool. I really like that you can select the text that is read by yourself, and also that German language is available. You can adjust the text speed and the pitch. Also works flawless on Opera GX browser so far. Thinks I noticed: When starting the audio, the first word ist often cut/ not fully hearable. Maybe ad a 1 second pause between the command and the execution? With so much AI everywhere nowadays, maybe you could include an AI text generator, these usually sound much smoother and are way easier to listen to! But maybe its not that easy to implement. Thanks for your work! :) |
