- Rated 1 out of 5by MOMO, 2 years agoEverything was excellent after they decided to charge for "Premium" voices.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13524479, 2 years agoIs english the only language on the Planet ? Sounded like a good add-on... until I realized it could basically only read english.

- Rated 5 out of 5by lil_greatmoments, 2 years agoI love the fact that I can just right click on my firefox browser anything i want to listen to, and it does EXACTLY what i want it to do. Plus, I have so much fun changing up the voice in the settings :P :)

- Rated 5 out of 5by zbyna, 2 years agoGreat add-on! Works flawlessly. What about broaden functionality to translating ? I mean listen to foreign language and see translated text at once.

- Rated 1 out of 5by MathisBRogers, 2 years agoIt worked great until last week, then it stopped working correctly.
I love being able to highlight a paragraph or more, right click, then hit Read Aloud and it reads the selected text to me. Around Wednesday, October 19, 2022, I selected the text I wanted it to read and right clicked, and the option was gone.
I went to Settings and I do still have Read Aloud turned on and the icon is in the toolbar, but if I click on the icon on this page, it says "Missing host permission for the tab." I click the gear icon, and it has everything set correctly. If I select the text I want it to read and hit alt-p it starts reading, but stops before the end of the selection.
Please set it back to the way it was. - Rated 2 out of 5by Wally, 2 years agoUsed to be great, but now limits the amount it will read to a very small amount of text. There are better alternatives without limits out there.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Toni, 2 years agoWorked beautiful for months, now choppy. Will start reading and then stop. Tried everything to correct, updated my browser, reinstalled the addon...same result. Disappointed, need to stop wasting my time and install another tool.
Edit - tried other text to speech apps available thru firefox, they were awful. Back and hoping the issue will disappear. - Rated 1 out of 5by Renadam12, 2 years agoNope. Nope nope nope to the tenth power--nope. I figure if you create and app or extension...it should work. Nothing but an empty box and a spinning wheel loads. Says it's pulling content--clearly cannot. That is sort of the point of the thing, isn't it? So.. nope.
- Rated 4 out of 5by EnergyMover, 2 years agoUsed to be great. It severely limits the text length & can no longer right click & select speak. I found a better one, TTSFox, which in options lets me do everything I need.
