Didn't work with my Google Docs, it just read the title. Not intuitive, and hard to find help/answers.

Phenomenal extension, we really need something like this to save screen time and enjoy more of life by listening to content. One thing I really wish is that it simply played the voices as a website audio (like youtube or any media) that I could control with Global Speed (GS). GS extension is very advanced with respect to keyboard shortcuts, such as ASDF controls ("a" key to slow down, "S" key to normalize speed to 1x, and "D" key to speed up), as well as "Z" and "X" to skip back and forward, respectively. Also wish we could enable hover mode without autoplay.

Overall, very good extension. But almost always I am getting "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'lang')". The other thing I would like to see is a language detection, so that I don't have to change voice language every time. As for ElevenLabs integration, I added my API Key, but getting this error: "Elevenlabs Error: Unusual activity detected. Free Tier usage disabled. If you are using a proxy/VPN you might need to purchase a Paid Plan to not trigger our abuse detectors. Free Tier only works if users do not abuse it, for example by creating multiple free accounts. If we notice that many people try to abuse it, we will need to reconsider Free Tier altogether. Please play fair and purchase any Paid Subscription to continue." I guess, this is the ElevenLabs issue since I haven't used ElevenLabs much if not at all.
