read-aloud VS whatsapp-monitor

I use the Read Aloud Firefox extension to read newspaper articles and the wandering inn stories. Works well for me. In the configuration there are free and premium voices. I enable Google Translate voice and increase the speed a bit.

Main repo (website there too, or search on Firefox extensions): https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud

I've already used this in the past, and it's been good: https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud Good luck!

I've tried many, but only Read Aloud competes—your input is appreciated all the same <3

Here is the discussion with the developer on GitHub who's doubling down on their agenda without addressing their deceptive practice.

I don't have a wide knowledge of FOSS speech synthesizers, but one related FOSS application I can recommend is Read Aloud. It is a browser extension for Chrome/Firefox that can use both FOSS synthesizers and external proprietary ones. You can expand voices by installing more local voices. You can for free use their "Basic" voices or pay a small fee for some of their Premium voices (if you pay for premium, as I did for 1 USD, you will get free additional characters every month. I am currently sitting with more characters than I started with). You can alternatively give API keys for Google Cloud, AWS, or IBM. If you want more quality voices.

For personal stalking, you either pay one of the existing services, or there's also a Google Chrome extension available that will just use the connection of your own account and monitor the status changes there. WAToolkit also seems like a good candidate to modify into tracking a status.
