- Rated 1 out of 5by sfny, 9 days agoConstantly asking to change permissions on Android. It became so annoying I had to remove it altogether.

- Rated 2 out of 5by max.tela, 16 days agoIt is a cool idea and helps a lot with my dyslexia. But it works properly less than half of the time.
1. Detecting the text correctly, especially on websites where text is separated by other content or when there are multiple columns.
2. Often the reading out does not stop when click pause or stop, I have to close all Firefox windows to make the reading out stop. - Rated 5 out of 5by Federico Calzoni, 20 days agoPiper's voices are really good. I really appreciate the automatic language selection.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15621291, a month agoThe voice is good, but the controls don't do jack. 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.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Tom, a month agoSolid add-on, but the fact that you need to have an entire tab open in order to use the new piper.ttstool voices makes the add-on much less convenient
- Rated 4 out of 5by CrubNine, a month ago1.68 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by stelgado, a month agoAdding 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18349635, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18355450, a month agoThe default voice is unintelligible and the other voices are not much better. This is a joke of an app.
