A text to speech tool with natural sounding voices.

Text to Speech (TTS) is a text to speech extension with natural sounding voices by using HTML5 TTS APIs.

Some features:
1. Easy one-click text-to-speech via HTML5 API.
2. Auto detects language (no need to set input language each time)
3. Text-to-speech is enabled by holding (Alt), (T), or (Insert) key
4. Highlights selected text while text-to-speech is running.
5. Uses the native HTML5 API (no need to install additional plugins).

Note 1: For the highlight feature to work correctly, please select text paragraph-by-paragraph. The highlight feature is still in Beta and may not work properly in all websites.

Note 2: HTML5 TTS API is still a work in progress and may encounter crashes or errors. If the API is not active in your browser, please go to "about:config" page and search for "webspeech" keyword. Once you find "media.webspeech.synth.enables" item, right-click on it and click - Toggle - to enable it.

Updating Review - THIS EXTENSION DESERVES A MUCH HIGHER RATING AVERAGE. IT'S EASILY A 4.5 STAR GOING ON 5!
I've been using this extension for over a year maybe longer. And during that time I've tried nearly all of them here at the Chrome Web Store...and I always stay on this one because it's easily the best one on all levels.

Original Review -
Has mostly always worked for me. Thank you for creating this extension. God bless.

Can't adjust the speed, the reading speed is too slow

It's almost perfect! But is there a way to change the voice into Google Female English? Also change speed and pitch of the voice too? Also there's seems to be bug you can't type anything on input a few times, I don't know why. It seems like it happens after you activate the TTS on two paragraphs of text, that the "unable to type in the input field" bug kicks in.

This is an easy to use extension, but it won't switch to others languages on my computer. It only uses french voice.
