- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12617117, 17 hours agoFirst time user of the Read Aloud text to speech reader -- I am very impressed. I used the app to read a technical article and found the accuracy excellent. I also found the voice tone and intonation made for an exceptionally good listener experience. This is a great app and congratulations to its developers. Thank you!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13097488, 5 days agoAn excellent way to get good TTS voices for Firefox. For the flatpak version I had to use flatseal to add .local/share/piper to the Persistent -> Files section to allow it to save the Piper voices.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Stefan, 9 days agoIt's mostly great- easy to start, good customizability. Using google voices is really really nice. The only really annoying thing is I have to go into the settings to change the speed. I frequently find something going too slow or too fast for my liking, and if I could adjust that on the fly, instant 5 stars.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15291916, 14 days agoA screen reader that only works on some sites, and not others, has limited usefulness. Would be better if it could run here, but its options don't even show the "Run on sites with restrictions" option as it ought to.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ryloaf, 15 days agoI love this add-on so far. It really helps with my college courses, especially since the long texts I need to read get tiring from reading on my own. There are some issues with some pronunciation of words or speaking out the links/references, but nothing that fully interfere with what I need to read.
- Rated 5 out of 5by sdozachary, 15 days agoVery excellent plugin. I wonder if it would be possible to add hover icons to Android Firefox, AND it would make it easier to use!
- Rated 4 out of 5by ren, 15 days agoGood add-on, lots of customization. The default voice is annoying and hard to understand (imo) but there's so many to choose from after opening up the options menu. They are all named, which makes it easier to switch between different ones if you want. There are some silly ones (like "bells" or "bubbles.") and you can adjust the speed and pitch, too.
My only complaint is that it is kinda convoluted to get it to work with PDFs, which is the main thing i was planning on using it for. I'm willing to put in the extra effort, but it is annoying. Especially because I deal with pretty severe brain fog at times, and those are the times I would want to use this. Having to take extra steps when you're already confused as a baseline... it's not fun. Simple is better. If this could be simplified or side stepped, this would get 5 stars from me. - Rated 4 out of 5by Leon, 16 days agoIt uses a lot of resources, but it's very good and easy to use. I choose cori-high (UK) English voice and now my PC has a distinctive posh accent :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17134268, a month agoAdd-On works really well. You can adjust the pitch/speed of the voice and even use different voices. Get it.
