Text-to-Speech (Google™ & HTML5) extension

Text to Speech (TTS) is a text to speech extension for Opera with natural sounding voices by using HTML5 TTS APIs.

Some features:
1. Easy one-click text-to-speech via HTML5 API.
2. Auto detects language (no need to set input language each time)
3. Text-to-speech is enabled by holding "Alt", "T" or "Insert" key
4. Highlights selected text while text-to-speech is running.
5. Uses the native HTML5 TTS API (no need to install additional plugins).

Note 1: In order for the highlight feature to work correctly, please select text paragraph-by-paragraph. Highlight feature is still in Beta and may not work properly in all websites.
Note 2: Google TTS API is removed from version 0.1.8. The addon is only working with HTML5 TTS API.
Note 3: In order to report Bugs, please visit addon's homepage (http://mybrowseraddon.com/text-to-speech.html) and fill the bug report form.

I'll give it half star rating because it works on some website and not on others. Could have been a good add-on for Opera since there are not other alternative I can find. If other users have some alternative please share it with us. Thanks.

Was working fine for a couple weeks, then somehow got hosed and now the green icon just spins and spins, but no voice. I've removed the add-on, then reinstalled, cleared caches, etc. No help. Bummer.

The Google mode option (vs. HTML option) is completely unusable. Repeats itself frequently, gets bogged down almost immediately. Unusable.

The HTML modality works fine. Except, now it doesn't (see above).

Also, does not work in Reader View. Double bummer.

I wish too that you could just pick a starting point by clicking or right-clicking and the reading begins there and goes to the end. Instead, one must select the entire article before reading can begin, but only after scrolling back to the top and clicking the green button.

It works with the google service, but I need to know how to change the voice speed. It speaks too slow

Para los que dicen que no sirve, necesitan entrar a configuracion de la extención y activar la casilla según como deseen activarlo y luego reiniciar el navegador. Recomiendo la primera opción en la que solo se selecciona el texto y sale un bocina, le das y entonces comienza a leer.
