AI Text-to-Speech Chrome Extension Development

Project Title: Chrome Extension for OpenAI Text-to-Speech Integration Project Description: I am looking for a skilled Chrome extension developer who can create a custom Chrome extension that integrates the OpenAI API for text-to-speech (TTS) capabilities. This extension will provide users with the ability to convert text into spoken words, offering both manual and real-time TTS features. Key Features: API Key Integration: Users should have the option to input their OpenAI API key securely within the extension settings. Text Input: Users can input text into a designated text field within the extension. Language Selection: Users can choose the desired language for the TTS output from a predefined list of supported languages. Manual TTS: Users can click a button within the extension to convert the entered text into spoken words using the OpenAI API. The TTS output should be displayed within the extension interface. Real-Time TTS: Users should have the ability to highlight text within any webpage, press a designated keyboard shortcut (e.g., Ctrl), and have the option to trigger real-time TTS for the selected text using the OpenAI API. This feature should work seamlessly across different websites. Pause/Stop Functionality: During real-time TTS, users should be able to pause or stop the narration. Settings Panel: The extension should include a user-friendly settings panel where users can configure their OpenAI API key and preferred language. Error Handling: Proper error handling should be implemented to manage API key authentication errors and other potential issues gracefully. User-Friendly Interface: The extension should have an intuitive and visually appealing user interface that seamlessly integrates with the Chrome browser. Deliverables: Fully functional Chrome extension with all specified features. Clear and concise user documentation explaining how to install, configure, and use the extension. Requirements: Prior experience in developing Chrome extensions. Familiarity with the OpenAI API and text-to-speech integration. Proficiency in web development technologies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Chrome extension development. Timeline: Please provide an estimated timeline for the development and testing of the extension. Budget: I have a budget allocated for this project. Please provide your quote, including any additional costs such as API usage fees. Important Note: Before bidding or accepting this project, please ensure that you have access to the necessary development environment, resources, and expertise to complete it successfully. Security and data privacy are critical considerations when working with API keys, so the developer must prioritize the secure handling of user data and API credentials.
