Speechy is a Chrome extension developed by hmirin that serves as a wrapper for high-quality paid Text-to-Speech (TTS) APIs such as Google Cloud Text-to-Speech and OpenAI Text-to-Speech. This extension allows users to leverage the advanced capabilities of APIs like Google's Wavenet and OpenAI TTS by providing a user-friendly interface within Chrome.

With Speechy, users can easily convert selected text into speech, select different voices for the output, and adjust the speed of the chosen voice (limited to Google API). This functionality enhances the accessibility of online content by enabling users to listen to text instead of reading it, catering to different preferences and needs.
