Hi! I created this extension to help you learn chess coordinates by announcing moves during your Chess.com games. It's also useful for players with visual impairments who benefit from audible notifications to follow along.
Features
Move Announcements: Hear every move to learn the coordinates.
Castling Detection: Announces both kingside and queenside castling.
Promotion Awareness: Informs you about pawn promotions and the promoted piece.
English Announcements: Uses a clear and pleasant female voice.
Right now, it's hardcoded to English, but I'm open to adding more languages, voices, and features based on your feedback.
Recently added:
Language selelection: English, Spanish, French and Dutch!

If you have any ideas for new features or improvements, I'd love to hear from you! Please send your suggestions and feedback! I will do my best to respond.
Alternatives:
I tried multiple other announcer extensions, but they were either barely functional, or very crude in implementation, so I wrote this version. Hope it helps others as well!
