Review by JP
Rated 2 out of 5
by JP, 8 years agoIt works which is more than I can say for a lot of add-ons but that voice is terrible. I can hardly understand it. It's like they dug up the old Dr. Sbaitso voice and sped it up. With that old of a voice generator it would at least be helpful if there were options to control its tone, pitch, and speed to fit the user and make it more understandable.
As it currently stands it's fairly unusable.
I applaud the effort, but unless you can get a voice made this century I can't see myself using it.
(I understand licensing may be an issue; can't say that I know how availability of different voices works for these types of projects.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by monkeypee, a month agoi prefer it to voice aloud reader, because it's easier to pause. It has many languages, including mine, which I'm thankful for

- Rated 1 out of 5by Israel Roldan, 2 years agoBasically, it does nothing. I think that it didn't install the voices because I don't listen to any voices. I am on Firefox – Arch Linux – Kernel 6.1.12 – x86_64.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12744019, 2 years agoIn about:config you can only choose 'true' or 'false'.
There is no 'toggle'.
The highlighting works, but there is no sound/voice.

ONLY I WISH IT HAD AN SPEED CONTROL & GIRL VOICE :D
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17523261, 2 years agoTerrible UX - opening a separate window for a seemingly simple function defeats the whole purpose of an addon. Waste of 5 mins of my life (including 2 mins reviewing this).

- Rated 3 out of 5by Bruno Stroobandt, 2 years agoHet gebruikt de TTS van windows. Dat werkt, maar die automatische taal herkenning???
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nihil Adest, 2 years agoThere is no speed or pitch options, so it's extremely slow. It is opens up into a big pop up that when you click off of it goes away which is also very annoying.
