- Rated 1 out of 5by aliilbegi, 7 years agodoes notz work properly, when the icon appears after highlighting the text, and clicking on the icon, it keeps on showing as if its loading (circular motion) but nothing happens...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13842827, 7 years agoI can't recall ever using it much - BUT in the Linux eco system (Debian based), it keeps on adding more and more and more "speech dispatcher" streams to the Audio channel / sound mixer.
And like most frustrating things - there is no way to stop this process of every time open another webpage with readable contents, it opens another audio stream / channel.
And they do not seem to close down when I shut down the web pages...
So I'd say this is not actually a fault, as a for instance if I were to open 3 or 4 sets of the VLC media player, I'd get exactly the same thing.
I'd rather see it as a single program, with branches into the websites, instead of multiples of the same program, going into the different wesites... - Rated 4 out of 5by Macadamia Owl, 7 years agoIts very helpful. Im a low vision person and im really happy that i found this addon!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13743528, 7 years agoThe voice is horrible. It sounds like a worsened version of Stephen Hawking's computer voice. 1 Star

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12672294, 7 years agoКлассное дополнение, но понятно что не все еще допилили . Не читает русские сайты и наоборот читает английский pdf файл русским голосом. А если надо учить только произношение на английском очень всем рекомендую.
Если заменить API c HTML5 на Google, тогда распознает языки правильно. Правда будут ограничения на перевод текста. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13542505, 7 years agoI regularly use TTS due to vision limitations. I like this program, but it does not work on all browser loaded pages. It should work on any and all highlighted text. Also I would like to be able to change the voice to other standard voices.
- Rated 4 out of 5by meteorquake, 7 years agoWorks very well for me; having tried to use the windows narrator and acrobat read aloud, this worked like a dream! thanks.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13517673, 7 years agoJust doesn't work I'm on Firefox 57.0 on windows 10 app just flat out doesn't do shit.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13475492, 7 years agoyou need to be able to control the speed of the speech. as well as a choice of different voices.
generally ok but i find it hard to keep up with such a fast speed.
which defeats the purpose! - Rated 5 out of 5by Gurdeep Singh, 8 years agoWorks very nice on windows. I hope to see some improvement in the text highlighting while the speech.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ZN, 8 years agoDoes not recognize language correctly, and there's no way to set it manually.
- Rated 2 out of 5by JP, 8 years agoIt works which is more than I can say for a lot of add-ons but that voice is terrible. I can hardly understand it. It's like they dug up the old Dr. Sbaitso voice and sped it up. With that old of a voice generator it would at least be helpful if there were options to control its tone, pitch, and speed to fit the user and make it more understandable.
As it currently stands it's fairly unusable.
I applaud the effort, but unless you can get a voice made this century I can't see myself using it.
(I understand licensing may be an issue; can't say that I know how availability of different voices works for these types of projects.) - Rated 1 out of 5by Teth, 8 years agoGłos - przynajmniej w języku polskim, inne mnie nie interesowały - jest sztuczny. Generowany jak z komputerów z głośnika systemowego, robotyczny. Nie polecam.
