Human Reader, powered by ElevenLabs

There is a problem that I cannot use when I put the IP key. It gives me that the AIP key is invalid and I am creating the AIP key for elevenlabs and I am sure that it is correct and give all the permissions but it does not work.

Use piper, or other.... want something free... use the elevenlabs reader app on mobile (it doesn't use your API key...) this i don't see the value in the app i am giving it a 1 star because you didn't figure out an option for free tts....

For some reason, it doesn't work on certain sites. For example, when I try to get it to read any section of this article (https://darioamodei.com/machines-of-loving-grace), the play button just spins forever. Also, the built-in keyboard shortcut to get it to read selected text is 'Ctrl-h', which is ALSO the History shortcut in Chrome. Why would they choose a shortcut that is already in use for the very browser this extension is made for? Poorly planned, and buggy.

thanks for this grateful extension , it helps me a lot.

I tried this extension as I am a big fan of ElevenLabs' automated voices. For my use case this extension is completely unviable. As I have dyslexia I rely on screen readers to understand the text I'm reading. The pricing of this solution seems to be aimed at content creators producing videos and other exported assets. It costs $99 for 10 hours of audio - so this would cost me more than $1000 a month - hence my 1 star review. The pricing model for this extension needs to be lower than general... Show more

Hi Will, I am in no way affiliated with ElevenLabs. I just built this in my free time so people can use their ElevenLabs voices in the browser. Also mainly did that because I have dyslexia myself :) Would be great if you could re-consider the 1 star. I have nothing to do with the pricing, the software I built I give out totally for free, I make 0 money on this. Maybe you can reach out to ElevenLabs directly with that feedback :) -- seb

Seems to be working great, thanks!

Extension not working, no play button showing, shortcut (ctrl+h) not working. The website is also not every helpful with errors.

Hi, Could you try deleting the extension and re-installing it? It seems to be working fine for me so not sure what the issue is. Feel free to email me and I can try debugging your issue with you! :)

Hey this is great! Adding keyboard shortcuts would be fantastic :)

Hi :) I agree - added the keyboard shortcut ctrl+h in v1.7

Sometimes audio playback won't work at all. When that happens, you have to restarting your browser. The little button next to selected text is really nice. But if you start playing the voice, there's no way to stop it without restarting your browser. The fact that I have to restart my entire browser multiple times to use it is a serious offense. 2 stars! You asked for a positive review, but this app is half baked.

hey :) I agree that it is more convenient if you could stop the audio while it is playing. Spend some time last night to add that, if you restart your browser it should work now - make sure to be on v1.6 :) Maybe this warrants a reconsideration of the two stars 😇

Does what it promises to do. Everything works as expected!
