Features
- Ability to replace any word so you are not stuck with default pronunciations or abbreviations.
- Starts reading instantly from the second you hit play, no matter the page size.
- you can select words to start reading from that location, if [Spacebar to Play] or [Drag to read] is enabled
- can be toggled on and off instantly, no need to refresh the page before use. (unless the extension was updated)
- displays estimated reading time and percent read in the title bar.

New Features of Version 1.0.2 (iframes not supported)
- Automation tab settings
- Spacebar to play from selected location

* This works by getting element class name, if multiple elements have the same class name on page, this won't work.

New in Version 1.1.5 - 1.1.8
-Added an optional Shift key modifier for onclick. Although a better alternative is to set the #playPauseShortcutKey and use the mouse to select the text. Note: The default Play/Pause shortcut is the Spacebar, which will be replaced by the custom key you set. Ensure the 'Spacebar to play' is enabled for the shortcut keys to work.

- Added support for OpenAI-based Text-to-Speech API endpoint.
- Details available in extension options.
- Disclaimer: This feature is still a work in progress.

Note:
Some features may work differently inside iframes or Shadow DOM elements.

How to use:
Click anywhere on the page for it to start reading from that point, if you'd rather push [spacebar] after selecting the text you want read, you can go into options and uncheck [click to read] then hit save.
You can also click the blue square on the bottom right to start reading from your selection or drag it to where you want to read from in case what you want to read is a link. Clicking on the blue square or the spacebar also toggles play/pause.
