- Rated 1 out of 5by Marty, 12 days agoThe update from July 20, 2025, did not fix the error either. Whenever I want to listen to something on the Internet, the error message “Not allowed error” always appears. I use the Google Translate German voice. Now, I'm fed up. I'm definitely going to uninstall this extension now.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19169632, a month agoMerhaba, daha önce kullanmıştım. Şimdi açık görünmesine rağmen uzantıyı bir türlü aktive edemiyorum. Forumda arama yaptım, ayarları kontrol ettim ama bir türlü sorunu tespit edemedim. Nasıl ilerlemeliyim? Destek ekibi veya kullanıcılara yardım amaçlı yazıyorum, teşekkürler.

- Rated 5 out of 5by whereistruth, 2 months agothe default voice is not that great but if you click on the icon and go to options you can find more voices and you can even buy some but i dont think it will go to the person that wrote the addon but even with the free 1sif you go down the list for a while you will see the 2nd google options and those are better play with the pitch and speed to get them pretty good i dont have the disposal income to be spending on the paid 1s but the test they show seems to be even better ifyou go that route any way hope this helped have fun every 1
