zie619 Text to Speech - Privacy-First TTS Extension

Transform any text on the web into natural-sounding speech with this powerful text-to-speech extension. Simply select text on any webpage
and click the speaker button to instantly hear it read aloud.

Key Features:
• Privacy-Focused Local Mode: Run TTS completely offline using a Docker container on your machine - no data ever leaves your computer
• ElevenLabs API Support: Optional integration with ElevenLabs for premium voices
• Real-time Word Highlighting: Follow along as each word is highlighted during playback
• Smart Theme Detection: Highlighting automatically adapts to light/dark websites
• Voice Customization: Adjust voice settings including stability, clarity, and style
• 7 Voice Presets: Choose from Expressive, Professional, Storyteller, News Reader, and more
• Playback Controls: Adjust speed (0.5x to 2x), pause/resume, and skip through audio
• Docker Support: Easy setup with pre-built Docker image (zie619/tts-server)

How to Use:
1. Select any text on a webpage
2. Click the floating speaker button that appears
3. Listen as the text is read aloud with synchronized highlighting

Local Server Setup (Recommended for Privacy):
docker run -d -p 19958:19958 zie619/tts-server

The local server uses Microsoft Edge TTS voices with fallback options, providing high-quality speech synthesis without sending your data
to external services.

Perfect for:
- Reading long articles or documentation
- Accessibility and visual assistance
- Learning and comprehension
- Multitasking while listening to content
