[ WARNING: You need to sign up for a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account to use this extension. Heavy use of it (currently > 1 million character/month) will incur fees from Google. ]
Use Wavenet text-to-speech technology to read text from a webpage or your clipboard.
• Read back emails you've typed before you send. • Read long articles in the background while you work • Select from different languages and voices. Want to hear your text read with an Australian accent? Done. • Read text in your clipboard (for pages that prevent right-clicking context menus). • Keep track of your usage to help keep you from going over limit.
Google offers their excellent quality text-to-speech engine used by their assistant apps like Google's Home and Android assistant as a service.
This extension uses that service (that is still in beta) to read text out loud and it requires users register for a key to use it.
While this extension is free, the Text-to-Speech service starts charging when you exceed the monthly limit, so to help you keep under the maximum, it offers basic APPROXIMATE quota tracking.
