Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader by LSD Software
Review by Josh
Rated 5 out of 5
by Josh, 7 years agoit works really good. but i'm seeing some errors in the debug screen. i'm no coder so i just googled it. I tried the uninstall reinstall from store. i don't see where its causing me problems, or this might be why It sometimes forgets its permissions from google. either way, i've used this extension for years. thank you. below is the output to my error in case it helps you.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Wizsensei, 2 days agoVery good. Only problem when i try in normal page it very slow loading or sometimes doesnt load at all. To fix this i open extension options and click test button.When test sound plays(which is very fast) then extension becames responsive and i can play other page i want without waiting or problem.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mel, 4 days agoThe voice volume was so low I could not understand what it was reading. It was so low because the voice sound was coming through my Mac Mini M4 built in speakers and I was about 15 feet distant. There is no apparent means of choosing where the sound output goes.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19266537, 2 months agoread aloud works (and way too loud), but volume control has zero effect; only when slid to the extreme left does the volume mute (to zero).
