- by Firefox user 14680208, 18 days agoRated 1 out of 5Doesn't actually play audio. Also requires monthly subscription.
Useless as-is.Developer response
posted 12 days agoHi, sorry to hear that and thank you for your comment! We are constantly working on the improvement of our product and we test it before uploading to any of our stores. Do you mind describing what exactly doesn't work and how you are trying to play the audio? It could help us a lot in identifying and solving the problem.
About the monthly subscription: every our user gets free listening time every month but if our user wants more listening time, we have two plans with annual and monthly subscriptions. The platform Intelligent Speaker works on is not free and we do our best to minimize our users' costs, that is why we charge the minimum, to cover our own costs. - by Firefox user 14495709, 3 months agoRated 5 out of 5

- by eUROs, 7 months agoRated 1 out of 5UPDATE 12/02/19: It doesn't work anymore. I Disabled and Enabled it back, but it couldn't play the English article. So I am going to Uninstall it from my Mozila Firefox.

=> Old review: From the first try of this addon it has impressed me with the natural sound voices Such as the "US English Male: Matthew!!".
It is a very promising addon, but it is not free and it needs to create account in order to try it.
I signed in with my email and have tested it.
- What I would like to suggest is:
To be able to read the selected/highlighted text and have a pop-up bubble showing up when text is selected to make the action immediate and instant. Not to have to "right click" a paragraph, and send it each time and choosing "add to feed" and then Open the addon and click the play Button. I think you have to make the steps shorter, and not take all this process to be able to play and listen the selected text. I didn't gave all the five stars, because of two reasons:
(1) it shows you a "limit bar" for the month because you have to pay to listen to more hours of text. Which it is very limited.
(2) is because it asks for account creation.
(3) It doesn't have the Greek Language. You have the Turkish language and you don't have Greek? Seriously Now?Developer response
posted 5 months agoThank you for your feedback, we will think about faster reading of selected text.
We cannot make it free - we have operational and development costs.
Account creation - yes, nobody likes it and sometimes we receive feedback about it, maybe in the future we will make guest profiles for testing (without history sync).
About Greek language - we support all languages that support our underlying reading engine, they have no Greek and no Chinese, for example. - by Firefox user 14142657, 9 months agoRated 5 out of 5Nice app! The best I've used so far. Great job!
- by Firefox user 14095329, 9 months agoRated 1 out of 5Requires a signup and login with a third party website before any functionality is available.
Developer response
posted 9 months agoAbout third party website for signup - we use authentication service from AWS. Signup with Google is easy - no password required. You can see available functionality in the video on our website. Yes we understand that nobody loves to create new accounts, maybe in the future we will consider guest accounts. - by Enverest, 10 months agoRated 5 out of 5
- by Ya-Grisha, 10 months agoRated 4 out of 5Читает хорошо, но не всегда, непонятно как заставить озвучить выделенный текст, и диалоги ненужные, окна лишние.
Как-то минималестичнее надо. Выделил текст и через контекстное меню запустил озвучивание.Developer response
posted 10 months agoДобрый день, какие вы имеете в виду ненужные диалоги и лишние окна? - by Firefox user 13939058, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Very pleasent first impression - very very smooth speech, hard to believe to be synthezed. Sounds really promising.

- by Firefox user 13845728, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Very good. I would suggest an option to slow voice down a bit ( maybe to 90%?) to ease listening for non native speakers. Thank you.

- by Firefox user 13798997, a year agoRated 5 out of 5Great Text-to-Speech Addon. Sound is very natural, also for German text. Easy to use.

posted a year agoThank you for your feedback. We are working on Intelligent Speaker's improvement. Please, note that it's a BETA version and there is still some space for new functionalities and bugfixing. If you could provide us more a detailed feedback we would be able to plunge into details and help you to figure out all the issues. Feel free to contact us support@intelligent-speaker.com or via our social media: facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IntelligentSpeaker/ or twitter: https://twitter.com/IntSpeakerApp
UPDATE: now you can change the playback speed. And "announcement at the start" was rid off. - by Firefox user 13774834, a year agoRated 5 out of 5I've been looking for a TRUE natural sounding text to voice reader.... this one is it! Sounds great, works perfectly (even in Beta)
