⚠️ Important: API Fix Required (December 2024)

Microsoft recently tightened their API security, requiring a specific Origin header that browsers cannot set. This fix uses a Cloudflare Worker as a proxy.

Quick Setup

1. Deploy the proxy (free, takes 2 minutes):

   npm install -g wrangler
   wrangler login
   cd cloudflare-worker && wrangler deploy

   You'll get a URL like https://msedge-tts-proxy.YOUR_USERNAME.workers.dev

2. Configure the extension: Edit assets/custom hooks/useTTS.tsx and replace YOUR_USERNAME with your Cloudflare username.

3. Build and install:

   npm install
   npm run build

See cloudflare-worker/README.md for details.
