- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14096097, 3 days agoEn español -que es la que he probado con varias voces- es infumable, apenas se entiende nada.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lynn, 3 days agoRead Aloud worked great for a few years but now it does not work. The spinner comes up and words get highlighted but that is all that happens.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16153649, 4 days agoI'm not sure how you screw up this plugin so badly. It use to work great, now it sounds terrible! I can barely understand what the robotic voice says and the best part is that you can't change it because there are about 2 million options in the drop-down and it takes 5 minutes to load after clicking on it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12617117, a month agoFirst time user of the Read Aloud text to speech reader -- I am very impressed. I used the app to read a technical article and found the accuracy excellent. I also found the voice tone and intonation made for an exceptionally good listener experience. This is a great app and congratulations to its developers. Thank you!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13097488, a month agoAn excellent way to get good TTS voices for Firefox. For the flatpak version I had to use flatseal to add .local/share/piper to the Persistent -> Files section to allow it to save the Piper voices.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Stefan, a month agoIt's mostly great- easy to start, good customizability. Using google voices is really really nice. The only really annoying thing is I have to go into the settings to change the speed. I frequently find something going too slow or too fast for my liking, and if I could adjust that on the fly, instant 5 stars.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15291916, a month agoA screen reader that only works on some sites, and not others, has limited usefulness. Would be better if it could run here, but its options don't even show the "Run on sites with restrictions" option as it ought to.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ryloaf, a month agoI love this add-on so far. It really helps with my college courses, especially since the long texts I need to read get tiring from reading on my own. There are some issues with some pronunciation of words or speaking out the links/references, but nothing that fully interfere with what I need to read.
- Rated 5 out of 5by sdozachary, 2 months agoVery excellent plugin. I wonder if it would be possible to add hover icons to Android Firefox, AND it would make it easier to use!
- Rated 4 out of 5by ren, 2 months agoGood add-on, lots of customization. The default voice is annoying and hard to understand (imo) but there's so many to choose from after opening up the options menu. They are all named, which makes it easier to switch between different ones if you want. There are some silly ones (like "bells" or "bubbles.") and you can adjust the speed and pitch, too.
My only complaint is that it is kinda convoluted to get it to work with PDFs, which is the main thing i was planning on using it for. I'm willing to put in the extra effort, but it is annoying. Especially because I deal with pretty severe brain fog at times, and those are the times I would want to use this. Having to take extra steps when you're already confused as a baseline... it's not fun. Simple is better. If this could be simplified or side stepped, this would get 5 stars from me. - Rated 4 out of 5by Leon, 2 months agoIt uses a lot of resources, but it's very good and easy to use. I choose cori-high (UK) English voice and now my PC has a distinctive posh accent :)
