JustListenIt Chrome Extension

JustListenIt is a compact accessibility-first Chrome extension that transforms selected page text into spoken audio using the browser's Web Speech API. The extension includes intuitive selection triggers, keyboard shortcuts, and a small persistent control UI so users can manage playback, choose voices and adjust speed without leaving the page. Language detection heuristics and fallback strategies ensure the best available voice is selected for multilingual content. The codebase is lightweight, privacy-conscious (no text is sent to external services), and uses the Chrome Extensions manifest and APIs for secure permissions and storage. The extension includes options for customizing hotkeys, voice presets, and saving preferred settings per domain. Built for productivity and accessibility, it helps users consume content while multitasking, supports low-vision users, and can be integrated into assistive workflows.
