I've used this for many years now. It's the only text-to-speech extension that works the way I want it to work.

I love that when you click on text it's automatic, but I wish there were options for speed. if there was this would be in my top 5 of tts apps. Add that speed and that would be amazing. I wish it worked on google docs, if it did this would be my top 1 app. But not that many apps are able to vaguely use google docs.

Good if you want something very basic and english only. For the future, I suggest add more languages, and maybe if you can, optional remote voices.
