would be great if there was control over which part it would read

You should remove the shortcut definition, it has no effect. People got to use the Shortcut definition that can be defined in Edge itself, not in the extension. So it should be explained somewhere. Language selection is weird a little bit. If you select a type of voice, you should allow to select a type of voice for each language, otherwise you will end up reading text in english with a french voice and it sound like a retard. If you want to use autodetection, leave it to SpeakIt! in the drop down list for language selection.
