    Características Principales:
    
    🎙️ Lectura Natural y Privada: Utiliza la API chrome.tts nativa. Sin servidores intermedios, sin costes de API y con total privacidad.
    👁️ 3 Modos de Visualización:

    Ventana (Pop-out): Separa el reproductor en una ventana independiente, ideal para multitarea.
    Segundo Plano: Escucha el texto mientras navegas por otras pestañas sin distracciones visuales.
    ⏩ Control Total: Ajusta la velocidad de lectura (0.5x a 2.0x), pausa, reanuda o reinicia frases fácilmente.
    📝 Cola de Lectura: Selecciona múltiples textos y añádelos a la cola (clic derecho > "Agregar a la cola") para escucharlos uno tras otro.

Ideal para estudiantes, profesionales que investigan o personas que prefieren escuchar artículos mientras realizan otras tareas.
