- Rated 2 out of 5by KlowIsHere, 12 hours agoVery robotic voice, and it always cuts the last syllable of each paragraph.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15112842, 6 days agoSi fuera posible, indíquenme donde localizar algún tutorial, la extensión me parece una pasada, aunque se me ha puesto con voz robótica y no tengo narices de volver a la voz natural.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18662249, 16 days agoThe googlecloud voices are pretty good, but they don't play well with VPN (I have to update their permissions at least once per day). So be prepared for choppy robot voices, or having to do extra steps to use the add on every day.
It would also be nice if instead of having a separate popout window, it just highlighted the word it was reading on the webpage itself, with just pause/play and skip buttons. (Even better if I could click on the page and play from there instead of having to skip a bunch of the content to find where I want to resume listening)
All of that said, the add-on does read the pages for me, and once I confirm I'm not a robot the google voices are great. - Rated 4 out of 5by jgnetworksecurity, 20 days ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by anonymousUser, 24 days agoThis used to work the best but from past few years it sounds like shit and we can not do anything about it .....Pleaaase bring back the audio quality back..... now it sounds too robotics impossible to understand moreover the extension lags a lot.. there is no good read aloud extension out there for firefox.... in window speechify and natural reader works the best but here on firefox there's none. Please do something read aloud is our only hope

- Rated 4 out of 5by O. Delannoy, a month agoL'écoute des pages HTML et PDF est correcte dans l'ensemble. Certains mots ne sont pas bien reproduits, mais la transcription est bien meilleure que d'autres outils du genre.

- Rated 5 out of 5by farad.ai, a month agoi see a lot of low ratings because of the voice options. GO TO PIPER VOICES (Experimental)
there are so many good voices to install. Cori and Jenny_Dioco are the best IMO - Rated 4 out of 5by numInt, a month agoThank you for the very nice add-on. it's very useful. But one thing as a sorry point is that the shortcut key is not editable for now. I have set it in the past, and it has been kept but it doesn't function. I can't find any buttons like 'Edit' despite that I can see the list of shortcut keys. Further, the shortcut key also doesn't work now(I have to 'click' the icon). Due to the settings of the FIrefox's security?
p.s. It seems like shortcut keys conflict among some add-ons in my choices. It can be resolved with the editor for the shortcut key if it works. - Rated 3 out of 5by Azarilh, a month agoGood 1: It detects text automatically.
Good 2: It highlights the sentence it's reading.
Problem 1: It's in a popup, instead of highlighting directly on the website.
Problem 2: Voices are trash for today's standards.
First problem is not a big deal, but the second problem is a deal breaker, with today's AI technology. Could it be possible to use Edge's AI voices? There's an addon that does that, but Read Aloud is a more advanced addon, really, the voices are the only real problem. - Rated 3 out of 5by PHAN NHAT THAU, a month ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14096097, a month agoEn español -que es la que he probado con varias voces- es infumable, apenas se entiende nada.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lynn, a month agoRead Aloud worked great for a few years but now it does not work. The spinner comes up and words get highlighted but that is all that happens.
