## 概要

BB WaveNet is a Chrome extension that reads highlighted web text aloud using Google's WaveNet text-to-speech engine. It is a customized, manifest-v3 rebuild of Michael Poirier-Ginter's WaveNet for Chrome, with a dedicated listening panel, keyboard shortcuts, speed controls, and a phonetics dictionary for tricky words.

## 料金とプラン

The extension itself is free to install, but it depends on your own Google Cloud Text-to-Speech (WaveNet) API key. Google's service is reported in the listing as offering a 90-day trial allotment and then charging around $16 USD per million characters per month. The developer also mentions an optional convenience service where they set up and maintain the Google platform for you at a markup comparable to app-store rates.

## 主な機能と特長

- **Natural WaveNet voices:** Uses Google's WaveNet text-to-speech engine to convert selected page text into high-quality, natural-sounding audio.
- **Dedicated TTS Panel:** All captured text and synthesized audio flow into a separate control window instead of playing in the background, as required by Manifest V3.
- **Sentence-level navigation and replay:** Move between sentences with arrow keys, play or pause with Enter, K, or F2, and click any sentence to replay it without spending new API characters.
- **On-the-fly speed control:** Slow down or speed up playback by 0.25x steps while listening, and download per-sentence OGG files for offline playback at different rates.
- **Phonetics pre-processing:** A built-in dictionary rewrites abbreviations and numeric notation before synthesis, so clinical and technical shorthand is pronounced correctly.

## 主なユースケース

- **Listen instead of reading (Readers with dyslexia or ADHD):** Highlight long articles and have them read aloud in natural voices, reducing the effort of visually decoding dense pages.
- **Study material on audio (Students and researchers):** Queue papers, documentation, and course readings so you can work through them by ear while doing something else.
- **Correct pronunciation of notation (Clinical and technical readers):** Rely on the phonetics dictionary to read medical abbreviations and measurements properly instead of having them mangled.
- **Focused listening practice (Language learners):** Slow playback in 0.25x steps and replay individual sentences to train listening comprehension on real web content.

## 強み

- Natural-sounding voices thanks to Google's WaveNet engine
- Keyboard-first controls with sentence navigation, replay, and adjustable speed
- Phonetics dictionary fixes tricky clinical and numeric notation
- Offline listening via downloaded per-sentence OGG files

## 制約・デメリット

- Requires your own Google Cloud API key, which costs money after the trial allotment
- Setup instructions are acknowledged as outdated and hard to follow
- A niche, low-user-count hobby project rather than a maintained commercial product

## よくある質問

### Is BB WaveNet free?
The extension is free to install, but you supply your own Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API key. Google provides a trial allotment and then bills per million characters, reported in the listing as roughly $16 USD per million characters per month.

### Does it work without an API key?
No. Audio is synthesized through Google's WaveNet TTS API, so you need a Google Cloud account and API key. The listing notes the setup instructions are somewhat outdated, so you may need to locate the key page yourself.

### Can I replay a sentence without paying again?
Yes. Left-clicking a sentence replays the cached audio, so no new request is sent to Google's API and no additional characters are billed.

No. It is an independent extension built by 'drbxho' that reworks Michael Poirier-Ginter's original WaveNet for Chrome code with attribution. It uses Google's TTS engine but is not a Google product.
