CaptionSpeaker Extension

CaptionSpeaker is a chrome extension that allows you to hear subtitles in a specified language when they are set on youtube.

# Usage

1.Right-click the CaptionSpeaker icon to open the settings (Options) and save the appropriate speaker settings (Please be sure to do so as there is a possibility that the speech may fail in the standard setting.).
2.Open the video that you want YouTube to produce subtitles for
3.Click CaptionSpeaker icon to enable subtitle speech (If the icon is green, it is on.)
4.Start playing movie (The speech starts when the subtitles appear.)

If you want to stop the subtitle speech, you can turn it off by clicking the CaptionSpeaker icon.

When speaking, the speaker is the default setting of the browser at first. For example, in a Japanese environment, the speaker is Japanese, so if you want him to speak English, please set it on the setting page (Right-click the icon to select an option, or click the icon to select Options.).
You can also change the reading speed on the settings page.

When you change the speaker's language (Locale), you try to produce subtitles in that language (I sometimes fail.).

# Note

- CaptionSpeaker is a Chrome Extension that reads out the subtitles set for YouTube videos. It does not have the ability to translate Youtube videos. If the YouTube video does not have subtitles in the target language, it will not be spoken.

Miss Glossy (ID: 00000011c2fd3127) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/10/2023 This is probably the best extension of this type. But it has some serious delay, so sometimes it keeps on speaking even when the video is paused. Please fix!!!

jhan johnny (ID: 000000f3ce8c93ef) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/26/2023 If there are too many subtitles, you may be able to automatically pause the video or slow it down

faycal me (ID: 000000002cd5439f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/22/2023 Doesn't work chrome version 118.0.5993.89 (Build officiel) (64 bits)

Rose Lamothe (ID: 0000001ac7183119) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 This is the best I have found and I have tried many. It starts every time, there are no buttons to push, it has all the best voices and once you adjust the pitch, speed and level, you can forget about it, it will come on as you set it up. Highly recommended.

Aleksandr Sh (ID: 0000008aca6e0990) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/13/2023 В Crome Версия 114.0.5735.106 работает Отлично, Спасибо разработчикам)))
