Speechy

This repository is the source code of Speechy, a Chrome Extension for high quality Text-to-Speech (TTS) APIs.

Speechy provides an easy interface for paid Text-to-Speech (TTS) APIs. Simply select text and click Speechy from the context menu—that's it. Your browser will read the text aloud using a high-quality voice, which is superior to your OS's default TTS engine or free online APIs.

See project page.
