- Rated 4 out of 5by LezBoyd, 7 years agoIts great! It does what it says and has a huge number of voices and dialects to choose from.
Edit: Only thing missing is volume control. I keep the system volume at full, and adjust the volumes for various applications that have audio. It blasts at full system volume with no way to control the volume of spoken text. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10462711, 7 years agoDoesn't appear to work on Firefox for Android 59.0.2
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13973646, 7 years agoPerfect! Select text, press ctrl+p and done! You can even choose speed, pitch, auto language detection or choose wich one you want, it even brings you premium voices that are smarter in terms of space and paragraph recognition. Simple and practical, perfect!

- Rated 5 out of 5by bodwyn, 7 years agoStill my favourite TTS. Simple to use, good selection of free voices. It works.
A little setup needed to access Google voices, but easier than trying to add voices to Windows.
It's been in development, but it's back - phew! Tried many other TTS add-ons - horrible.
Hai Phan has been extremely helpful and communicative. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12634508, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13910159, 7 years agoBeing an Australian, I have selected the Google Australian female voice. It actually sounds more natural than the other selections, including the American ones. It's good for sitting back and listening to long documents or Wikipedia pages. It also allows highlighting sections of text for just that section to be read, making it extremely useful for the fine print in things like the terms and conditions of contests or membership rules, etc.
There are the odd mispronunciations, but in my opinion this is made up for by other enhancements...for example, dates written in US format are read out in British/Australian format. So a date written as March 30th is read back as 30th of March.
It also reads currency correctly. A figure like $123,456 is read out as "a hundred and twenty-three thousand, four hundred and fifty-six dollars"
Very happy with it. Well done to the developers. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13814640, 7 years ago
