Features

Ability to replace any word so you are not stuck with default pronunciations or abbreviations.
Starts reading instantly from the second you hit play, no matter the page size.
you can select words to start reading from that location, if [Spacebar to Play] or [Drag to read] is enabled
can be toggled on and off instantly, no need to refresh the page before use. (unless the extension was updated)
displays estimated reading time and percent read in the title bar.

New Features of Version 1.0.2 (iframes not supported)

Automation tab settings
Spacebar to play from selected location
Configurable to automatically click on [next page] when finished reading current one (requires refresh)

This works by getting element class name, if multiple elements have the same class name on page, this won't work.

User reviews

This extension is very effective. It would be great if there were an option to sample the voice within the pop-up.

Really nice extension! I wish for a feature for scanning for new dom-nodes in an element with tts for live-chats such as discord, and I am not sure if this is supposed to work with that use case? If it is, can you explain how I can make it auto-read new dom-nodes (in chat)? Otherwise consider this an a feature request! Thank you for a very nice extension! :))
