Zoran M (ID: 000000ede4b9c77c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/12/2021 So you have to subscibe to a "free 90 day trial with Google Cloud" before you can even see how it works? And they want your phone number so they can "confirm where we can reach you about solutions to support your Cloud experience".

Sandman (ID: 000000360e1e332a) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/22/2020 no have russian lang

Arthur Bisle (ID: 0000002ae1306f48) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/01/2019 5000 characters limit for a single voice generation query (this limitation is set by wavenet, but a workaround could definitely be found if the author would like to find it). No stop button, no hotkeys in the documentation. And you must have got an API Key on WaveNet web site at first, which is not that easy.

Rania Hanuman (ID: 000000b11c9caefc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/11/2019 This a great extension, with even greater potential. As others have mentioned, Speechy could be enhanced with additional controls. Indication of which text is currently read, volume, pause/play, or forward/rewind controls. Other than that, this is an amazing tool. Speechy also provides clear, easy to follow instructions on obtaining the API key.

John Sutcliffe (ID: 000000179f5c090b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/13/2019 John Sutcliffe Wavenet voices made easy. Best voice quality by a long way Note: You need an API key from Google's Cloud Platform to set up it.
