Summary

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

You can use this extension in a standalone interface or within web pages. If you press the toolbar button the first interface opens up where you can enter a desired text for TTS. On the other hand, within a webpage, once you select a text, a placeholder speaker icon appears. Once you click the speaker icon, the text-to-speech starts. For the highlight feature to work correctly, please select text paragraph-by-paragraph. Please note that the highlight feature is still in Beta and may not work properly on all websites. There are also a few options related to the in-page text-to-speech which can be adjusted from the extension settings page.

User reviews
Works as advertised, however different voices are available to choose yet you cannot change the main voice.

No Edge TTS for Russian language

Muito bom. Pena que a extensão não salve a linguagem, anteriormente selecionada depois de algum tempo, o que pode ser irritante para algumas, pessoas assim como eu.
