bir dakikada nasıl çalıştığını ne işe yaradığını anlamadım

This extension is great - it lets me use Piper voices with some online sites that support browser text to speech (for example: lifebible.com). I do have a question though: if I have multiple voice packs installed, and/or voice packs that provide multiple voices (eg libritts), I can't see how to select the specific voice I want to use. This is possible in the menu on the Read Aloud extension, but I can't find a corresponding option in this extension. Can you advise?
