Text to Speech (TTS)

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 two different TTS engines. The 1st engine is the HTML5 native web speech API for speech synthesis. It is active in all modern browsers by default (more info: https://webaudio.github.io/web-speech-api/). The 2nd API is the Kokoro AI engine, which uses a new artificial intelligence method to synthesize text (more info: https://huggingface.co/onnx-community/Kokoro-82M-v1.0-ONNX). Please note that when you choose Kokoro AI, the app needs to download training data (~300MB) for the AI engine. So please be patient while the app is loading. 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 the 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. Note 1: For TTS in webpages, the app only uses the Web Speech API. Kokoro AI engine is only available within the standalone interface. Note 2: Kokoro AI engine, once loaded, can work fully offline. Moreover, you can save the output TTS audio as a .wav file to your machine. When text-to-speech is completed, please press the audio icon on the right toolbar.

Talkie: text-to-speech (TTS)

New voices, languages, dialects can be downloaded for FREE for your operating system from for example Microsoft, Apple, and Google. Once installed correctly, Talkie will auto-detect them. 1. Select desired text on any web page. 2. Click the Talkie button in your browser bar You can also select the text, then right click on it, and choose Talkie in the menu. This way also works in PDF-files and some special types of pages in Chrome. A convenient option is to use the Talkie shortcut keys: ☑ ⌘+Shift+A on macOS ☑ Ctrl+Shift+A on Windows, Linux, Chrome OS ☑ ⌘+Shift+1 or Ctrl+Shift+1 to read text from the clipboard in any program (Talkie Premium feature) If the key does not work, please check that it is not already in use by another extension. How to check or change the Talkie shortcut key: ☑ Lets you listen to the selected text on any part of a page -- a short snippet or an entire news article. Just highlight what you want to hear read aloud and hit play. ☑ Automatically detects the text language per-page, and chooses a voice in the same language to match it. ☑ Uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API for text-to-speech (TTS) known as Speech Synthesis. ☑ All text and speech is processed internally by your browser. While ultimately depending on your specific browser, all processing is expected to be done on your own machine and not use a server. ☑ The available voices may differ depending on your operating system, browser, browser version, and any other installed extensions/software. ☑ Select your favorite voice per language! ☑ Adjust the speed and pitch per language! ☑ Read text from the clipboard in any program!
