Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader by LSD Software
Review by MikeFox
Rated 1 out of 5
by MikeFox, 3 months agoRead Aloud might be a serious add-on for desktop Firefox, but, frankly, it's implementation in Firefox for Android 🦊 is pretty lousy if not useless:
1) There is only one very robot-ish (female) voice per language!
2) The UI within Firefox is more than pathetic!
3) There are no Android notification center controls!
4) When quitting Firefox, it just continues reading aloud!
In contrast, Mozilla's Pocket for Android is really convincing with a choice of ~10 great TTS voices per language, sounding very natural & pleasant like a radio announcer.
IOW: back to the workbench, developers!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Swagonair, 2 days agodecent add-on, but it no longer reads after right clicking - which sucks. So I uninstalled. Very disappointed.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tre, 12 days agosimple and it does the job, thats worth 4 stars.
One complaint: cant adjust its focused words outside of selecting any given paragraph. I hope to see it refined for selecting an individual sentence, or perhaps a scrubbing system. - Rated 1 out of 5by adrianne_a, 15 days agoSorry but the audio sounded like ghost from Event Horizon shrouded in death noises from Event Horizon. Deleted immediately, thanks for the nightmares.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Robb Dad, 2 months agoAndroid version. Couldn't get it to work. Fresh Firefox install from Play Store, no other add-ons installed. Selected it in the add-ons section of the Firefox menu and am informed that it needs more permissions to talk to Google. I click the grant button and nothing happens. I click the permissions link and nothing happens. Spent an hour researching and trying different things, nothing works. I'm removing it, likely permanently.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15303667, 2 months agoSeulement en anglais et aucune option pour choisir une autre langue. Plein de bug.
