ruma Firefox okisanel 13910159, 7 jierren lynBeing an Australian, I have selected the Google Australian female voice. It actually sounds more natural than the other selections, including the American ones. It's good for sitting back and listening to long documents or Wikipedia pages. It also allows highlighting sections of text for just that section to be read, making it extremely useful for the fine print in things like the terms and conditions of contests or membership rules, etc.
There are the odd mispronunciations, but in my opinion this is made up for by other enhancements...for example, dates written in US format are read out in British/Australian format. So a date written as March 30th is read back as 30th of March.
It also reads currency correctly. A figure like $123,456 is read out as "a hundred and twenty-three thousand, four hundred and fifty-six dollars"
Very happy with it. Well done to the developers.

- Rated 1 out of 5ruma Firefox okisanel 18404318, 8 dagen lynGreat if you are looking for a megaphone emoji for your toolbar. Useless if you are looking for a TTS that is understandable. Also, doesn't even consistently work.
So hard to believe that in 2025 this is the best we can do for TTS? Has not improved in 20+ years. Embarrassing. - Rated 1 out of 5ruma Marty, 9 dagen lynI have been using this extension for a long time and have been more than satisfied the whole time. This has changed since 2025. My favorite voice is the one from Google Translate, but unfortunately that no longer works because nothing is read aloud. Please fix it.

- Rated 4 out of 5ruma wild, 18 dagen lynQuite good; for Firefox you'll have to dig-in and choose the non-robotic voices, i.e. google Translate XX or Amazon / MS premium voices.
The UI could be improved, for example highlight directly what is read on the page, in complement to the popup. - Rated 5 out of 5ruma Maria Royuela, 22 dagen lyn
