- Rated 1 out of 5by Fulmer, üks päev tagasiEvery time I start it, it wants me to grant additional permissions. Additional? I gave it the permissions it needed when I ran it the first time so why do I have to give it additional permissions every day I run it? I want it to be given all the permissions it needs to run and make that permanent. Instead, you have to go through a tedious rigmerole of opening a webpage, scrolling down and clicking on a speak button, then tick a box saying you are not a robot EVERY TIME you use it! No! I won't do that.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18355450, 2 kuud tagasiThe default voice is unintelligible and the other voices are not much better. This is a joke of an app.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18285094, 3 kuud tagasiIn Dutch it just uses the Microsoft TTS-voice (Frank), which is already build in in Firefox itself, rendering this extension completely useless. The UI adds nothing special, you can't even choose where you want it to start reading.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18304762, 3 kuud tagasiHorrible, garbled, unintelligible robotic voices. Way to much reverb, too fast and they all sound alike. Chrome's built in text to speech is a hundred times better and it is just a dull monotone, but at least you can understand it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17089362, 3 kuud tagasiThis used to work okay now it sounds so robotic and distorted it's unusable!! It speaks everything 2x as fast as before and you can't understand a single word it's saying! IT'S BROKEN! uninstalled

- Rated 1 out of 5by MM13, 3 kuud tagasiIrritable, terrible, insufferable... I cannot concentrate when the robot rapes my ear with its artificial, hacky voice. Whoever programed this extension needs a little water boarding.
Now being somewhat series... Firefox,, you are a tech company, right? act like one! We have AI that is indistinguishable from human voice almost. GET WITH IT! NO EXCUSES - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13263740, 4 kuud tagasi

- Rated 1 out of 5by Distant Fire, 6 kuud tagasiHilariously bad. Literally sounds like a backyard full of dogs barking. Not a single word was discernible.
- Rated 1 out of 5by b b b b bb b, 6 kuud tagasiThis add-on claims to have "offline" voices which are "never sent to the internet".
However if you block access to the servers it contacts using a firewall:
1) You can see tons of access sent to "support.readaloud.app" and "chart.googleapis.com"
2) The text to speech stops working entirely. It won't read at all and says "Phone not connected". You can't even use the example offline test voice in configurations panel.
How is this even remotely offline if it can't work when not connected to the internet and their servers in particular?
