I want to use a reader called Thorium. It applies chromium web api to see what voices are available. Can verbify interact with chromium api or does it just read from XA_PRIMARY? https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader/discussions/1813

Hi @hajonnes thanks for the interest,

At the moment chromium web API is not supported, but from what I understand we would need to have an chrome extension which registers a new chrome.ttsEngine which calls verbify under the hood. It seems possible. Have a look here: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/ttsEngine/ At the moment it is not on the priority list, but it seems a cool idea, I'd be happy to guide you. Feel free to experiment and send a pull request when you have a working or semi-working prototype.

Thanks in advance Cheers, Mateo
