  • Playback reliability improvements

    Various fixes to make reading aloud more consistent and reliable across different types of pages.

  • Voice preview and refresh

    Preview how a voice sounds before selecting it. A new refresh button lets you reload available voices if your system adds new ones.

  • Text file support

    Drag and drop .txt or .md files into the sidepanel to have them read aloud. You can also use the file picker from the command bar.

  • Fixed first-click playback

    Resolved an issue where the first play after opening Chrome could fail silently. Playback now works reliably from the very first click.
