Best TTS. People are giving negative reviews because they are using it incorrectly. The correct way is to select the text, right-click, and then select "Talkie" from the menu (do not click the extension in the toolbar).This extension is the best; it’s open-source and free. I love it!

I select text and click the extension. It tells me to select text. Well, I have. It simply doesn't work. I never managed to make it read anything.

Garbage with a nice UI, but still garbage.

terrible you have to select text and it doesn't select well or scroll to allow selection of more than one scroll window. the worst of all extensions

Purtroppo non consente di mettere in pausa un testo: si può solo stoppare e ripremendo avvio torna dall'inizio della pagina o del testo...

El mejor e ideal a diario. Muchas gracias Joel por la labor, de evitar que conservemos las pestañas

Works well in Greek but I would like to have some available choices for voice selection.

I tried like everything I could think of to change the voice but it just doesn't work...

Vynikající!!! Skvěle funguje GLOBÁLNÍ fungování mi usnadňuje práci napříč aplikacemi.

top merci

프리미엄 구입해야 하나... 괜찮은데 좀만 더...

Good app but does not work for Google docs at all. which is what i needed it for.

muito ruim, só uma voz padrão microsoft.. completamente defasado

My issue resolved itself and I can see all the installed languages now. Just one thing: I hope you consider adding an option to speed up the reading. I usually read very quickly so having to listen to slow reading is a bummer. Otherwise, thanks for this app. It helps a lot.

Amazing Chrome Extension! I'm trying to find the best addon for reading a page or the selected element of that page and I can tell, it's the fastest plugin of my old chromebook. Because the most popular addons for this, working so slow. I need something to play TTS, when I click a shortcut and get instantly reaction and this is working well. Good job mate!

works as expected.

it is among the best chrome extension to use

i like australian catherines voice even tho im not australian at all. prolly not legal in some countries but i like to live dangerously. btw, great app, mate! -azza

This extension registers global paywall shortcuts that activate even when you do not have your browser in focus.

Countering the other proprietors designing similar highly signature apps only complicating the app's practical value, Talkie text-to-speech is valuable right from the moment I am grateful having installed.... As a person challenged with spinal cord injury this utility /app is a life saver. However anyone who likes to dignify what they write by listening to how clear or edit worthy what we've written is before sending and or commenting in the written word. Thank You Talkie YVO

Great tool! I am a zh-HK user, I want zh-CN and zh-TW also use zh-HK voice. It is not currently possible. I hope that this will be made possible in a future update. Thank you!

テキスト読み上げを倍速に出来るというので、Premium、paypalで送金してみたけど？、別に何の拡張もないずら

Payware, premiumware, and doesn't even do anything.

great tool and the dev is very generous.

Hi Joel, I want to make a donation to support this very helpful extension, but as of 13 January 2023 none of the relevant links for making a donation -- or even visiting your website -- seem to work (on Chrome under Windows 11). Writing this review was the only way I could find to report this problem.

Have to manual read from clipboard

I has donated but I can not be able to change the speed on voice. I wish it can be as simple as right click! but thank you for the work.

I love this, except for the tedious error message: "Talkie cannot read this kind of page. It is a very sp..." This is open source, so if you'd like to change that, just replace that text in the file at C:\Users\ [your PC user name] \AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\Extensions\enfbcfmmdpdminapkflljhbfeejjhjjk\7.0.0_0\_locales\en\messages.json I replaced it with "BONK". If you don't see enfbcfmm.... in your Extensions folder, right-click on the Talkie icon > Manage extension to see what's in the "ID" section. Find the folder with that name in your Extensions folder instead.

Só funcionou com a voz masculina da Microsoft e não permite aumentar a velocidade de reprodução.

Fabulous. Easy to use. Perhaps make the install process easier for younger users.

The clever functionality of right clicking on selected text to trigger the announcement is worth its weight in gold. It gets around iframe limitations. If this extension would highlight text as it announced it I would give it 5 stars.

bagus, bisa buat belajar bahasa

Is eSpeak the only German voice available in the non-Premium version?

Die Kostenlose Version finde ich ganz gut, Stimmen kann man wechseln. Was ich aber Richtig gut finden würde, wäre wenn Talkie auch Übersetzend Vorlesen könnte, das würde ich Feiern. Ansonsten alles gut, Premium kam ich nicht Beurteilen, da kein Geld.

Genel bilgide TR belirtilmiş, ben neden bulamadım, Ayarlar içerisinde diğer var olduğu söylenen diğer dillerin hepsi yok.

Leider keine deutsche Sprache ! Muss man wohl extra bezahlen !

works good so far!

liar. Not romanin!

cool und danke

Trop foooort !!!

voice changing setting does not work.

Это работает отлично!

jest ok działa dobrze !

This app can't even pronounce version...no thanks

Only english

This is great when it's working.

Funiciona muy bien... pero deberia funcionar mejor con un solo clic y poner varias voces
