First of all, thanks to the author for sharing. I really need TTS feature to learn English while reading literature better, but I don't know how to use zotts

Hi!

Thanks for your interest!

Unfortunately Zotts is still in construction so it's not quite available yet*

As an alternative, most web browsers are able to open PDFs and also have TTS plugins, if you right click a paper and open it online, you should be able to get TTS working there instead

Hope that helps!

I'm going to close this issue but let me know if you need further assistance, alternatively there's the Zotero forums

*The long technical explanation is that the method I had planned for implementing TTS isn't available in Zotero 6, I've talked to the Zotero dev team and it should be available in Zotero 7 but I don't have a timeline on that. I'm currently looking into ways to use TTS in Z6 but it looks to be very complicated...
