I don't want to miss this little program anymore. The YouTube vid telling you how to set up your own API is really helpful -- so thanks for providing that. WaveNet for Chrome now reads all my texts -- and I love to have text read out loud to me, so I use it daily. As for the hotkeys, it takes a bit of getting used to the Ctrl-Shift-S for reading a text, but after a few days it's second nature.

This is awesome - I've been looking for a text to speech that actually sounds natural. I bought a Neutral Reader subscription which is $19 and was very close to shelling out $19USD p/month for NaturalReader. I loved IBM's Watson text to speech and also Google's cloud text to speech but they all had a character limit and I had a long list of notes that I wanted read back to me.
Anyway - enough about my story - but I just wanted to show appreciation to the author. I had been working through API's, trying to figure out CURL commands, going back and forth with API teams and finally I have an extension that does EXACTLY what I want - highlight text - click to listen (to a real natural voice) - and click to download - and all I need to do is paste my Google API key. Beautiful. Thank you so much, I was staying up late trying to find a solution and now I can go to sleep feeling like a winner (L)

This is saving us a lot of time setting up Covid announcements on our PA system at work. No need to find an MP3 with Americanisms or clips that are not quite right. We can get Google WaveNet to voice our own scripts. Thanks! :)

Hey man, great app. Is there any way you would allow us to change the quality of the audio?
The current downloaded audio sounds very low quality :(

we are getting below error
please make one new video for the setup as google system has changes
and please allow to do download it as wave There was an error fetching the list of voices. Make sure your API key is valid.

Best extension in its class, thank you. Needs some improvements though:

1. If you enter the API key wrong (MacOS), you can't clear the textbox, so the wrong api message pops up every time the plugin window opens. That's all it does until you uninstall/reinstall.

2. Please allow us to regex the speech

3. Please add a setting to remove URLs from being spoken

Love google always keeps old instructions up and they dont make sense because they are outdated. If a blog did that google would have fits.

Using Google Cloud is very hard to understand... This app does all the job.
