This used to work okay now it sounds so robotic and distorted it's unusable!! It speaks everything 2x as fast as before and you can't understand a single word it's saying! IT'S BROKEN! uninstalled

no funciona en firefox discriminación

Does not work at all. It crashes immediately after selecting the addon.

Hilariously bad. Literally sounds like a backyard full of dogs barking. Not a single word was discernible.

This add-on claims to have "offline" voices which are "never sent to the internet".

However if you block access to the servers it contacts using a firewall:

1) You can see tons of access sent to "support.readaloud.app" and "chart.googleapis.com"

2) The text to speech stops working entirely. It won't read at all and says "Phone not connected". You can't even use the example offline test voice in configurations panel.

How is this even remotely offline if it can't work when not connected to the internet and their servers in particular?

Bro, 2024 with AI and all we got this google roboto voices? fr?

The version in Edge is fantastic, so I figured this one would be as well. No. Just Microsoft Sam quality voices.

The extension reads random parts of the lesson I want it to read, repeats words, and plays many paragraphs at a time. This is the worst read aloud extension I have ever tried using.

tts reboot...!!!

voices sound awful and robotic, poor ui, poor controls

Sounds like a sick robot.
