Store description excerpt
Short excerpt from the public Chrome Web Store listing; full copy is available on the official store page.
A small, fun and somewhat annoying extension that will speak Animalese whenever you type online. You can choose from 8 different voice options to customize the sound! Some of the features of this extension include: - Changing voice types by clicking the name below the icons in the extension window (4 male voices, 4 female voices). - Customizable pitch and intonation. - Typing in caps will have a slightly louder and higher pitch. - Playing the number keys will sing notes depending on the selected voice type. - Special characters such as '@' or '~' will play unique sound effects (This can be disabled in the extension window). Due to security restrictions on certain websites this extension will not work on those sites. Thank you and enjoy!
