Alexa Voice & Tone Buddy is a Chrome extension developed by Tim Kahle that enhances the Voice & Tone view in the Amazon Alexa Developer Console. As an add-on in the Browsers category, this free extension allows users to have more freedom and flexibility when playing around with Alexa Voice Output.

One of the main features of Alexa Voice & Tone Buddy is the ability to listen to Alexa Text-to-Speech (TTS) without the need for a physical device or a deployment process of the Skill backend. Previously, the only way to access the Voice & Tone tab in the console was with limited screen space. However, with this extension, users can now enjoy a larger workspace, providing a more convenient and immersive experience.

With Alexa Voice & Tone Buddy, developers can easily experiment and fine-tune the voice and tone of their Alexa skills. This extension proves to be a valuable tool for developers looking to optimize their skill's voice output without the hassle of additional hardware or complex processes.
