Please Add Persian language too. It is the same alphabet as Arabic - different pronunciation. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Marc K., 5 moannen lynGreat plugin which also reads PDFs. Google login to use premium voices works fine for me. Make sure to select one of the Google Translate voices somewhere at the bottom of the selection box.

- Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch user-46274, 5 moannen lynIn theory great, but it doesn't even allow me to log in to use premium voices on Android. The login button just doesn't do anything.
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Sam, 5 moannen lynIt works. I needed this to translate from Spanish and it has a lot more languages than that.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch SomeAB, 5 moannen lynTL:DR - I personally find MS Zira voice with 75% speed, 100% pitch, to be good enough for most scenarios. Default settings sound horrible, but can be tweaked, that is what I mean.
Okay overall with all things considered, this is currently among the most easy to use TTS (Text to Speech) addons
Pros:
- Easy to use, works fine with a google translated page, easily identifies what you want to read
- You can use Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly & IBM Watson voices with it, if you have API access (all 3 of them have a free tier)
- Has a dark background pop-up that shows the text in a simple readable format alongside speech
Cons:
- Biggest con is that it doesn't use the new Microsoft voices that come with Windows Narrator. It only uses the old Zira, Adam, voices which are of lower quality.
- No way to add a custom Offline voice model. The option of 'Custom Voice is for the online APIs'
- I heard somewhere, that even in offline mode, it does uses some google apis, but haven't checked myself. Given it is recommended by Mozilla officially, I guess its alright for non-security scenarios. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Hector Rodriguez, 5 moannen lyn

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 12339027, 6 moannen lynLove this feature. Especially since I'm a poor reader.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Distant Fire, 6 moannen lynHilariously bad. Literally sounds like a backyard full of dogs barking. Not a single word was discernible.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch b b b b bb b, 6 moannen lynThis 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? - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Shaun, 6 moannen lyn
