od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 12914483, před 7 letymeans absolutely nothing to me without the contextual menu that disappears after firefox closes.
5 star if they fix this issue. The shortcut Alt+p doesn't work the same way as the context menu and therefore can't be considered a replacement. The shortcut has to read the entirety of what was selected before you can make it read something else unlike the context menu button who interrupts the current text being read to start the new one you just selected.
The way I use this addon most of the time is to research subjects I'm unfamiliar with. I make it read while I keep looking at other stuff I'm researching. Most of the time, I understand what I was looking for mid read and I'm ready to TTS the next thing and it's already highlighted so I just right click to open the menu and make it read the next part I'm interested in which it does immediately by interrupting the previous text being read. The shortcut doesn't do that. If it's already reading something and I highlight something else and press alt+p, it just stops reading. If I press it again, it resumes the read of the previous text not the new highlighted one.
Could be solved by adding another shortcut like Alt+n (for next or new) to fix what's described above.
Another problem I have with this addon is that if you use more than one language, the voices options and choices become pretty much useless. In my case I want the addon to read both English and French texts sometimes. The only way to do this is to choose the Auto select option in the voice choices. Doing so give you a random voices for both languages and you have no say in what voice you want for each language. They seem to be chosen randomly as far as I can tell. The English male voice I got is one I hate and can't stand listening to, same for the french female voice I randomly got but that one is a little less annoying. If I select any other voice instead of the auto select option, then I'm stuck being only able to read one language because that same voice I chose butchers the other language it's not designed to read. I could go to the options and select the voice I want each time I switch between languages but who the hell would wanna do that?

- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Marty, před 2 dnyI can no longer use the extension. The same error always occurs when I want to have a text read out to me, the text is not read out with the Google Translate voice. Even the update from 07.05.2025 has not fixed this problem. I was always enthusiastic about this extension, but I have been thinking about deleting it from Firefox since the beginning of 2025.

- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 18975555, před 7 dnyIch kenne und schätze die App schon seit Jahren und haben nun die Firefox Erweiterung entdeckt. Einfach nur großartig und sehr zu empfehlen. Ich habe mir eine gute Stimme ausgesucht und mache perfekte Hörerfahrungen. Danke!
- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele t0dd, před 8 dnyJust tremendous. Once you get over the hump of configuring it (you want to select a piper-based voice) this text to speech reader for web context is simply superior to anything else I have tried.

- Hodnocení: 2 z 5od uživatele AyO, před 9 dnyWas GREAT until a few days ago. Still works fine for regular pages but no longer working for pdf. Skips lines, stops after a couple of pages and if restarted, starts from some page way before. Does not advance the pages of pdf, like it used to. etc, etc. Please go back to the working version.

- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 18404318, před 22 dnyGreat 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. - Hodnocení: 2 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 14728626, před měsícem

- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele wild, před měsícemQuite 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. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Maria Royuela, před měsícem
