it is very useful as a pdf reader

🤍🤍🤍🤍

Great 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.

I 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.

Works wonderfully well.
Thanks a lot :D

Quite 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.

what a shame voice in 2025... better hitting to a metal can...

Oh just super useful extension! great work over here! T wailer !
