- Rated 1 out of 5by hawk999, 3 years agoI loved using this but now i guess there has been an update and i cant use the TTS voice i have on my PC anymore, When i first started using this there was an option to use the voice i had on my PC now that option is gone, I hate all these voices... Let me use the TTS voice i have.

posted 3 years agoHi there, a recent Windows update has disappeared all SAPI voices from all browsers, not just Firefox. This affects not only Read Aloud but any addons or website cannot access your SAPI voices. Unfortunately we have found no workaround to this issue at this time. - Rated 1 out of 5by mmm111111111, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ty, 3 years agoIt works fine but it could be better. My only issue is that it doesn't read some math symbols properly, which is the main reason I installed this extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Hugo, 3 years agoVery computer-like voices and not much better than the built-in TTS feature which is built into Firefox.

posted 3 years agoPlease go to options and pick some other voices. The GoogleStandard voices may stop working after a while. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16540434, 3 years ago

posted 3 years agoHello, please navigate to a webpage with a "http" URL before starting Read Aloud. The extension cannot read aloud other types of URLs. - Rated 1 out of 5by undlark, 3 years agoRunning into an issue where it won't allow me to give permission, and it is infuriating. I've spent half an hour wasting my time trying to get this sorted out, but switching off other extensions, trying Chrome, or other such options doesn't seem to work. I want to use anything other than the default voice but can't.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16474998, 3 years agoDoes not work 90% of the time because you need to keep enabling google wave net every time and for some reason it forget you've enabled it and then also after you enable it, it keeps saying enable it. Useless, Idk why it's the recommended extension.

posted 3 years agoHi, the Wavenet voices are not free and Google makes you go through that process again and again to use it for free. If you would, please sign up for a Google Cloud Platform account and use it to enable the Wavenet voices. Then you won't have to go through that permission process. Follow the general steps here: https://blog.readaloud.app/2020/05/using-your-own-google-cloud-platform.html - Rated 1 out of 5by doogong, 3 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by PT, 3 years agoTerrible. When I click to PAUSE or to STOP, it doesn't work and keeps on reading out loud from the start. I had to uninstall for it to stop speaking.
