Is Talkie: text-to-speech (TTS) safe?

Clean risk

Reads selected web page text aloud using your browser’s built-in text-to-speech voices.

Select text on a web page and use the toolbar button, context menu, or shortcut key to have it read aloud. The extension detects the page language and chooses a matching installed voice when available, using the browser’s Web Speech API. The description says text and speech are processed internally by the browser, with no unnecessary tracking or external services.
