- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18285094, a year agoIn Dutch it just uses the Microsoft TTS-voice (Frank), which is already build in in Firefox itself, rendering this extension completely useless. The UI adds nothing special, you can't even choose where you want it to start reading.
- Rated 5 out of 5by floating-table, a year agoRecently, the extension has been acting up on Firefox, constantly throwing the `NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_METADATA_ERR` error. There's nothing wrong with the base64 audio being received, I verified that. Somehow it's triggering an old bug in Firefox I think, mentioned in this StackOverflow post: httpsstackoverflowcom/questions/44200990/html5-audio-player-in-firefox-is-not-working
EDIT: I found the issue. It was me. I diff'd my prefsjs file with a default one. Found out a sus config I don't remember changing. media.ffvpx.enabled was set to false. Setting it to true again fixed it. I am not sure why, maybe the decoding logic lives there..? - Rated 5 out of 5by Yuri M., a year ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Indigetes, a year agoIt sort of works, except when it doesn't. Not taking into account how robotic it sounds, in just a few minutes I got 2 instances reading the web, each at a different point and no way to stop either other than closing the browser.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12148057, a year agoSometimes stop and pause do not work (geeks for geeks dot org) even after reloading page. Also, would be nice to change voices.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18304762, a year agoHorrible, garbled, unintelligible robotic voices. Way to much reverb, too fast and they all sound alike. Chrome's built in text to speech is a hundred times better and it is just a dull monotone, but at least you can understand it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Simon, a year agoPlease look into NovelAI support.
Some AI Chatbot sites are able to access NovelAI's voice feature when you add their API key, so don't think it should be impossible here. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18294034, a year ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by zero, 2 years agothe voice was really hard to listen to, it was almost comical. i tried out many of the voices and all of the quality was way more difficult to understand than siri (as a point of reference).
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17089362, 2 years agoThis 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
- Rated 5 out of 5by zebra, 2 years agoIt is one of the best ad ons I have ever used. It really makes those long articles quite easy to get through and it even has a way to speed up each article.
A definite time saver - Rated 1 out of 5by TylerFC, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by turbokiller, 2 years agoVery easy to use. The free voices are HQ and pronounce everything just fine. Really helps me focus as I have trouble reading on my own sometimes.

- Rated 3 out of 5by whitevamp, 2 years agoseams to be a decent app, except it will not load the extra MS voices I have installed through accessibility > narrator will only load the default 4 voice packs, the default 4 voice packs suck, thats built into winblows. would like to see it pick up these extra voice packs.
