Wavenet for Chrome

Very simple. Easy to use and really a brilliant idea. You should be proud of your work! Only thing is that, about 99% of the time, it doesn't do a single thing. No output whatsoever, no error message, nada. Even restarting the browser (or killing extension processes via system monitor) doesn't fix it. Since there's no documentation, I have no way to discover why this is happening or if the text I've selected might be breaking it or something. BB's version of your extension works for the same texts your extension fails at, and that's great and all, but his extension doesn't allow downloading for some silly reason! Perhaps related to the queuing, which I suspect is why that one works for me while yours doesn't, because I use it for long-form content. Regardless of length, though, once the extension decides to stop working, it won't work for anything, short or long. I do seem to recall an instance around maybe April, before the UI change, when I actually did receive an error message or two. Something about my sentences being too long. More documentation and more error messages would really be useful. If there's a tiny hint of an annoyingly entitled tone, by the way, it's just because your extension is so brilliant and it is totally frustrating that it won't work most of the time! :-( Really, take this as the highest praise. I want it and I can't have it, and it's driving me crazy! Thanks so much for making this. If you want to take it to the next level, figuring out a way to automatically rephrase texts that are incompatible with Wavenet (or the neural voices if there are any differences), as well as splitting up texts to skirt any length limits are probably the way to go. I've spent hours editing texts to get them to be compatible. It may seem silly, but it's for accessibility reasons, so it's worthwhile. I don't know if it's legal for you to make and sell one, but I would gladly pay $10 for a full application (assuming it's more reliable). But since you don't have one, is there a place people can donate to support this project? Thanks again for the wonderful extension—I just wish it were more reliable! Try out long texts to see if you can replicate the problem. If you want, I could send you a text file I know to be a problem for it, assuming you have contact info up on Google.

Awesome extension. The SSML feature is not fully working, I have created an issue in github. Can you please lookinto it. The read aloud works but the download does not work. It will be really helpful if you can fix it.

Fantastic extension, I love it. Nice and simple UI. Happy to see the extension get some updates, please keep it up. Wish it was available for firefox as well.

I was using the read aloud extension and the google voices kept needing permissions from the demo site. This approach works much better and much more reliable! Amazing for reading articles and books especially when your eyes are tired or you want to take a walk!

Using it everyday! Thanks! But the demo on the Google page has different audio profiles and some of them sounds much better than what it does on the extension,.. Any chance I get to customize this in the future??

Extension is great, I use it for my projects almost every day for MP3 downloads. And recent UI update was helpful too, I liked it. Thanks, Michael! Issue: After recent v.10 update it doesn't recognize SSML, not in sandbox, nor through context menu. Sorry but have you even tested it before release? And I was relying on you extension. Could please fix it ASAP. UPD: the issue is fixed in version 11. I had to install in manually just for now.
