- Rated 2 out of 5by Wally, a year agoUsed to be great, but now limits the amount it will read to a very small amount of text. There are better alternatives without limits out there.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Toni, a year agoWorked beautiful for months, now choppy. Will start reading and then stop. Tried everything to correct, updated my browser, reinstalled the addon...same result. Disappointed, need to stop wasting my time and install another tool.
Edit - tried other text to speech apps available thru firefox, they were awful. Back and hoping the issue will disappear. - Rated 1 out of 5by Renadam12, a year agoNope. Nope nope nope to the tenth power--nope. I figure if you create and app or extension...it should work. Nothing but an empty box and a spinning wheel loads. Says it's pulling content--clearly cannot. That is sort of the point of the thing, isn't it? So.. nope.
- Rated 4 out of 5by EnergyMover, a year agoUsed to be great. It severely limits the text length & can no longer right click & select speak. I found a better one, TTSFox, which in options lets me do everything I need.

nowhere is there useful information as how to fix or even what this is.
trash. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16613965, a year agoOnce it starts reading out loud, I can't stop it without closing the browser. Stop button does nothing 🧐

- Rated 1 out of 5by hellwraiz, a year agopretty much none of the buttons do what they are supposed to. And clicking on any part of the text actually does nothing.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Ashley, a year agoWas deciding between 2 or 3 stars since it does *technically* do the job, but there are so many glitches that I often just end up reading the page aloud to myself.
Issues:
- Difficulties starting and stopping (voice starts reading the page over again OR it jumps to the end of the page)
- Needs more flexibility; cannot highlight anywhere onscreen to be read; almost seems like the bot just chooses what you hear
- Skips ahead on page and misses text
-Forward or back buttons do not work consistently (so that's all of the buttons)
- Bot voice is terrifyingly annoying (or annoyingly terrifying) - Rated 5 out of 5by lubusta, a year agoMost excellent addon. Thanks for the nice work. How about adding a simple button to maximize the separate reading window?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15442654, a year agoThe default voices are no good. Changing the voice to the google translate one or a premium one will make the experience very enjoyable.
