It's a quite good tool. It allows to listen article or web. Is is especially good when walking or have something other to do (like dish, laundry...). The voice synthesis is sometimes weird which is rather an issue of selected TTS engine than extension itself.
The most annoying flaw is loosing position in a long text when paused or internet signal lost. This mean manually locate part of text where to continue. Any search function or automatic bookmark insertion would be very useful.

read aloud is a good extension but the robotic voice sucks

Read Aloud has been great, but recently (about 20/10/25) the usual English options all got replaced by a lower quality robotic voice. And while Piper is an option and was recommended, none of the options were suitable for me now matched the higher quality reading of the voice I was familiar with. Please can this be undone? This extension is near unusable for me. I just wish to give my user experience on these voices

I really like it on Firefox, but it really fails on Thunderbird, I hope you can update the Thunderbird version and get it working as well as the Firefox version.

Não lê um monte de tipo de página, todas que precisei no máximo lia o titulo.

32-bit SAPI5 offline voices not available?

換到Lubuntu後，這是唯一臺灣語音發音正常的，多謝。

Signing in becomes a hassle

This is the same technology as existed in win XP.

since they introduced the piper voices it got a lot better. it's not perfect, but it's WAY better with the piper voices now.

Tried to use it in Firefox on Mint: The voices are straight out of a horror movie. Not close to reality a bit and horrifying at the same time. There is one called female whisper, and it sounds like a witch whispering to you in a dark forest in a dead of night while you are sleeping.

needs to have the ability for custom endpoints

Doesnt load on pages i NEED read aloud.

Excellent extension. It would be great if it could omit pronouncing the citations at the end of sentences as well as being able to pause after a period in the sentence. Also, if it could avoid reading hyperlinks, that would be cool too. Otherwise, its 5 stars

you have to use the piper voices extension/expansion thing but this extension has saved my grades
