The Text-to-Speech Highlight Chrome extension offers a seamless and convenient way to listen to highlighted text on web pages using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. Whether you want to multitask, have difficulty reading, or simply prefer listening, this extension empowers you to consume content effortlessly through spoken words.
Key Features:
User-Friendly Text-to-Speech: Highlight any text on a webpage, right-click, and select "Read with TTS" from the context menu. The extension immediately converts the selected text into natural-sounding speech, enhancing your browsing experience.
Customizable Voice Options: Tailor the TTS experience to your preferences. Adjust voice rate, language, and choose between male, female, or neutral voices (based on availability). Make the TTS voice match your style!
Offline Functionality: No internet connection required to use the TTS feature. Enjoy the convenience of listening to highlighted content even when offline.
How to Use:

Highlight any text on a webpage.
Right-click to open the context menu.
Select "Read with TTS" from the context menu.
Voila! The selected text will be read aloud using the Text-to-Speech functionality.
Customize Your TTS Experience:
The extension utilizes the Chrome TTS API, providing you with the flexibility to tailor your voice preferences. Adjust the voice rate, language, and choose from a selection of available voices. Dive into the background.js file to further fine-tune the voice quality, pitch, and volume if desired.
Known Issues:
The extension might not function correctly on websites with strict Content Security Policies (CSP) that block external scripts.
Customization options could vary depending on the TTS engine available on the user's system.

the speed is great but you can only hear so many words at a time, which sucks and is useless for what this is meant to be

There definitely is a word count limiter on this. I was able to hear 56 words pretty much each time I TTS the same content. Very odd. Needless to say this will not do for what I'm looking for.
