# Shortcut keys
A convenient option is to use the Talkie shortcut keys:
☑ ⌘+Shift+A on macOS
☑ Ctrl+Shift+A on Windows, Linux, Chrome OS
☑ ⌘+Shift+1 or Ctrl+Shift+1 to read text from the clipboard in any program (Talkie Premium feature)

# Features
☑ Lets you listen to the selected text on any part of a page -- a short snippet or an entire news article. Just highlight what you want to hear read aloud and hit play.
☑ Automatically detects the text language per-page, and chooses a voice in the same language to match it.
☑ Privacy aware -- no unnecessary tracking or external services.
# Voices
☑ Uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API for text-to-speech (TTS) known as Speech Synthesis.
☑ All text and speech is processed internally by your browser. While ultimately depending on your specific browser, all processing is expected to be done on your own machine and not use a server.
☑ The available voices may differ depending on your operating system, browser, browser version, and any other installed extensions/software.
☑ Custom voices using Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI) should work, but not all have been tested.

- (2019-10-11) Andrew: I paid for this as it said it allowed you to control the voice and speed. When you go to change these setting it links back to the chrome web strore? I can't find a way to change any of the settings?
