来自 sodope,4 年前Honestly I use this to help me speed read long books. I will normally have a physical copy in hand and pull up the web version and have Read Aloud running at 1.5x I have to read a lot by virtue of my interests and this helps, but it is certainly more useful for articles and uninterrupted prose like fiction.
I read tech/programming books. I wasn't expecting this to do a good job reading all the symbols and concatenated words but it does a relatively decent job. Some symbols are ignored or not read correctly but that's to be expected.
What's annoying is that the parser for this extension frequently skips single sentences or footnotes that are in between two larger paragraphs. So like if you have one paragraph then a sentence from the next paragraph followed by a diagram then the rest of the paragraph Read Aloud will skip straight from the first paragraph to the larger chunk of the second paragraph. sometimes the skipped part is important so i find myself pausing and rewinding frequently to make sure i got everything. It's jarring when you have a book in hand and read and hear two different things.
Feature suggestion: Consider highlighting the text that is already on the page by default. And having the option to use the modal if the page has funky formatting or something. Is there any reason why you can't just manipulate the DOM to highlight & scroll the words that are already on the page?

The pause button does absolutely nothing ever, and the second time I tried the add on the highlighted text didn't match what was being read (no idea where in the document it was reading from) and this time I had to close the browser entirely to make it stop reading.

- 评分 4 / 5来自 CrubNine,11 天前1.68 update is leaving a residue static sound whenever there is text loaded in the extension. This is distracting and making the pause feature unusable for me.
Edit: I tried out older versions and retried the new one and the problem went away. No idea what was causing it. I encountered another bug however with the new "Piper" feature, the extension was not able to load the manager page where you install the voices. It worked on Brave though (I use LibreWolf)
Edit2: Static sound problem came back. I decided to revert back and stay in version 1.66 No longer experience the issue on that version. - 评分 5 / 5来自 stelgado,13 天前Adding the piper voices is a game changer!! Thank you Dev.
Initially, I was pretty unhappy with the robotic voices and decided to read the reviews and found the same complaints. Then I saw that there was an update a week ago and, lo and behold, you can now add custom voices from piper that sound so much more human. It's a night and day difference. Makes this so much more worth it now. Even though it's still in the experimental phase, it works just fine for me.
I urge everyone to try it out in settings. - 评分 5 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 18349635,16 天前

- 评分 4 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 18331836,1 个月前Used this for like years to make my novels audiobooks and the desktop browser version of it works pretty well. IMO, the only good TTS voice is the microsoft zira one lol. Works very well for what it is, but the in-built firefox reader also has a TTS function, which is essentially the same thing. I don't discourage people from using this extension though, since it comes in handy when you just need one specific section TTS'd and it's quicker to activate than the in-built one.
An issue I found only on the desktop browser is that the highlighted text would jump ahead of the actual text the extension is reading and it would continue reading the text even if you press 'stop' (only in the case of the jumping highlighted text). Found that if this happens, press 'test' in the settings and the 'stop' after and it'll stop. Kind of annoying though since it happens every so often.
On the other hand, the mobile version of the extension is kinda meh. The issue I mentioned before doesn't seem to exist on mobile but a different one cropped up. On certain sites, or pages within the sites, the TTS randomly decides to change their voice to another. Again, only microsoft zira is listenable so it forces me to just stop the TTS and read manually.
Also, the 'sign in to use premium voices' have never acutally worked for me on mobile. Every time I click 'sign in', nothing appears T_T, lowkey frustrating. And apart from the offline voices, all of the voices don't work when I'm running on data. They do work when I'm using someone elses hotspot tho :(. Frustrating since I usually want to use mobile TTS when I'm out and about. - 评分 4 / 5来自 Saydine,1 个月前
- 评分 1 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 18285094,1 个月前In 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.
- 评分 5 / 5来自 floating-table,1 个月前Recently, the extension has been acting up on Firefox, constantly throwing the `NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_METADATA_ERR` error. There's nothing wrong with the base64 audio being received, I verified that. Somehow it's triggering an old bug in Firefox I think, mentioned in this StackOverflow post: httpsstackoverflowcom/questions/44200990/html5-audio-player-in-firefox-is-not-working
EDIT: I found the issue. It was me. I diff'd my prefsjs file with a default one. Found out a sus config I don't remember changing. media.ffvpx.enabled was set to false. Setting it to true again fixed it. I am not sure why, maybe the decoding logic lives there..? - 评分 5 / 5来自 Yuri M.,1 个月前
- 评分 2 / 5来自 Indigetes,2 个月前It sort of works, except when it doesn't. Not taking into account how robotic it sounds, in just a few minutes I got 2 instances reading the web, each at a different point and no way to stop either other than closing the browser.

- 评分 3 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 12148057,2 个月前Sometimes stop and pause do not work (geeks for geeks dot org) even after reloading page. Also, would be nice to change voices.
- 评分 1 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 18304762,2 个月前Horrible, 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.
