posted 4 years agoHello, please navigate to a webpage with a "http" URL before starting Read Aloud. The extension cannot read aloud other types of URLs. - Rated 5 out of 5by RonO, 4 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by undlark, 4 years agoRunning into an issue where it won't allow me to give permission, and it is infuriating. I've spent half an hour wasting my time trying to get this sorted out, but switching off other extensions, trying Chrome, or other such options doesn't seem to work. I want to use anything other than the default voice but can't.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16474998, 4 years agoDoes not work 90% of the time because you need to keep enabling google wave net every time and for some reason it forget you've enabled it and then also after you enable it, it keeps saying enable it. Useless, Idk why it's the recommended extension.

posted 4 years agoHi, the Wavenet voices are not free and Google makes you go through that process again and again to use it for free. If you would, please sign up for a Google Cloud Platform account and use it to enable the Wavenet voices. Then you won't have to go through that permission process. Follow the general steps here: https://blog.readaloud.app/2020/05/using-your-own-google-cloud-platform.html - Rated 5 out of 5by Diego Nina, 4 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Christal, 4 years agoGood Add-on. The voices sound good. I would like the option for the pop-up window to be a bit larger. It's still quite small when enlarging. Actually, it would be even better is the reading was directly on the page with more visual aids, for better readability.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Marcelo, 4 years agoFuncionalmente 5 estrellas.
Le pongo 4 solamente porque la voz no es de lo mas agradable. - Rated 3 out of 5by BusyB06, 4 years agoIt didn't work properly for me. It highlighted text one paragraph below of what it was actually reading. When it jumped to the next paragraph, the text it was reading disappeared upwards. I could only pause it but not stop. The stop button made it move to the next paragraph. It would not stop until I disabled it completely.
It needs elocution lessons. Especially on place names: Yorkshire is not pronounced "yorksheer" not even in American English.
