Comments and Reviews
It's really nice as a Text-To-Speech Extension to Chrome, but would really appreciate a way to quickly change language.
I totally agree... although I've had some major glitches during my Chrome experience and many occasions tried to find an alternative Opera has came closest so far but there's no match for the Chrome's Text-to-Speech app (Speak It!) It's become an absolute must have...
I was using it for the past 2 years every day and comparing it to the current active extension from iSpeech (http://alternativeto.net/software/select-and-speak--text-to-speech/) It was on a light years ahead than iSpeech's extension
This app literally stopped working for today [11/12/2018]. I'm now looking for a replacement. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
