FAQ
-
What does Selection Speech TTS do?
-
It lets your visitors highlight any text on a page and hear it spoken aloud via the browser’s built-in Text-to-Speech (SpeechSynthesis) — no external TTS API required.
-
Does it work in all browsers?
-
Most modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) support the Web Speech API, which this plugin uses. Voice support may vary slightly between platforms and devices.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
It’s lightweight and only runs when a visitor selects text. There are no large audio files to load and no network calls to external TTS providers. All speech processing happens locally in the user’s own browser, so there’s no server communication for converting text to speech and virtually no impact on your site’s performance.
-
Does it collect user data or send audio to a server?
-
No. Speech happens locally in the user’s browser. The plugin doesn’t upload text or audio.
-
Can I change the voice or language?
-
The plugin currently uses the browser’s default voice. Custom voice and language settings are planned for a future release.
