CaptionSpeaker is a chrome extension that allows you to hear subtitles in a specified language when they are set on youtube.
# Usage
1.Right-click the CaptionSpeaker icon to open the settings (Options) and save the appropriate speaker settings (Please be sure to do so as there is a possibility that the speech may fail in the standard setting.).
2.Open the video that you want YouTube to produce subtitles for
3.Click CaptionSpeaker icon to enable subtitle speech (If the icon is green, it is on.)
4.Start playing movie (The speech starts when the subtitles appear.)
If you want to stop the subtitle speech, you can turn it off by clicking the CaptionSpeaker icon.
When speaking, the speaker is the default setting of the browser at first. For example, in a Japanese environment, the speaker is Japanese, so if you want him to speak English, please set it on the setting page (Right-click the icon to select an option, or click the icon to select Options.).
You can also change the reading speed on the settings page.
When you change the speaker's language (Locale), you try to produce subtitles in that language (I sometimes fail.).
# Note
- CaptionSpeaker is a Chrome Extension that reads out the subtitles set for YouTube videos. It does not have the ability to translate Youtube videos. If the YouTube video does not have subtitles in the target language, it will not be spoken.

- (2023-11-10) Miss Glossy: This is probably the best extension of this type. But it has some serious delay, so sometimes it keeps on speaking even when the video is paused. Please fix!!!
- (2023-10-26) jhan johnny: If there are too many subtitles, you may be able to automatically pause the video or slow it down
- (2023-10-22) faycal me: Doesn't work chrome version 118.0.5993.89 (Build officiel) (64 bits)
- (2023-10-18) Rose Lamothe: This is the best I have found and I have tried many. It starts every time, there are no buttons to push, it has all the best voices and once you adjust the pitch, speed and level, you can forget about it, it will come on as you set it up. Highly recommended.
- (2023-06-13) Aleksandr Sh: В Crome Версия 114.0.5735.106 работает Отлично, Спасибо разработчикам)))

- (2023-02-04) haru tajima: とても使いやすい 海外の情報に気軽にアクセスできるようになり とても有益
- (2023-01-11) João Paulo: This extension is one of the best, due to its automations (reduce the video volume / detect when the video is in your language, and automatically disable it etc) And it may be the best case it fixes some annoying problems that are causing delay in relation to the video. adding auto throttle would fix the problem.. To be more exact: A very serious problem is the constancy of pauses when narrating.. There is a pause of 1 to 2 seconds at each narrated line.. even at 4x speed I am suffering from delays in common videos, because the narrator pausing all the time.

- (2022-03-03) Shaun Kahler: Not bad! Does what it says it does. My only qualm is that the translations take too long between subtitles and it would be nice if it were possible to keep pace outside of increasing the read rate so high.

- (2021-10-14) Mahyar: Awesome extension. It would be even more awesome if you could make it work with local pc videos. Like if I've downloaded a Japanese Anime with subtitles I like the subtitles to be said loud but I have to upload it on Youtube as a private video to make it happen.

I've been using the Android app for over a year, and the voice app is a little more natural than the chrome one. ---- PT-br ---- Sensacional, A extensão esta funcionado perfeitamente, baixei todas as opções similares disponíveis e essa é de longe a melhor. Já utilizo o app Android a mais de um ano, e no app voz é um pouco mais natural que no chrome.

Extension is very cool, but it is a pity that there is no more opportunity to choose a language of voice, such as Ukrainian. Also, it was not bad to use voice synthesis from, "Readme - Text to Speech Reader" - it copes very well. - (2022-12-02, v:2.0.3) Steve Lane: Stopped working

I would like to say, I really like your extension. I've been looking for something that will read subtitles on youtube videos for awhile now. Can you use the default voice set in windows?

Hi! Thanks for this plugin - I use it from time to time (Win10). But recently I noticed that voices of other companies such as Nuache, Ivonna are missing from the list. Now only voices from microsoft and GoogleVoice. I tried reinstalling the voices but it did not help. Can you help me with this problem? I just like those voices better. Thank you in advance.

I have been looking for a solution for reading youtube subtitles for many years. At last you are developing this chrome extension. I have tried to use it but it does not work for me and after trying many variants, the program apparently does not work. I want to encourage you to continue developing the extension so that it can be used soon. Greetings from Chile, Andre Hildebrandt - (2020-04-10, v:1.2.3) Mauro Botta: Caption Speaker for udemy.com ?
