Smart TTS Reader wót rampadc

The Smart TTS Reader Firefox Extension transforms web content into spoken English, with the default focusing on mathematical notation. It leverages either cloud-based Gemini AI or your local Ollama instance for intelligent content processing, including the conversion of LaTeX and MathJax into clear, audible speech.

For speech synthesis, the extension utilizes an OpenAI-compatible TTS provider like Kokoro TTS, allowing for high-quality, customizable audio playback. You can configure various TTS settings such as API URL, voice, model, and speech speed.

Usage is straightforward: select an HTML block by clicking the extension icon and then the desired element, or simply highlight text and right-click to choose "Smart Reader: Process Selected Text." The content is then processed by your chosen AI model and converted to speech in real-time. The extension intelligently handles different content types, providing plain English summaries for code and preserving structure for HTML, all while converting mathematical expressions into understandable spoken forms. Stop playback at any time using the dedicated button in the popup.
