- Rated 1 out of 5by Nihil Adest, 2 years agodoesn't do anything, you shouldn't get this app. It actually opened up into a porn website/porn. Don't get this lmao
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16492086, 4 years agoIt doesn't work on Linux Mint 20, Firefox 84.0. I select text, click the button, nothing happens. No sound, no activity, totally mute in all languages
- Rated 3 out of 5by Wooly Jumper, 5 years agoThe Swedish is a bit slow,it would be better to have the option of adjusting the speed.

The extension can read the content of any web page you visit as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. - Rated 5 out of 5by mohamed, 6 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mrowa378, 6 years agoThis addon is useless when in the settings I made so that I had the language of Poland, so it automatically put me on the United States so far it's the bottom maybe if something changes for the better I can pick up but now I categorically advise anyone to download : - (
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14459834, 6 years agoUse "Read Aloud" instead. This one doesn't work at all on a Mac with El Capitan.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14340589, 6 years agonot compatible with site that do not allow text selection/highlight
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14106083, 6 years agoNatural voices and accents was all I needed. The best, in that regard, by far
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12622475, 6 years agoI like this program.
I like the way I can change the voices on the fly. I use Firefox 60 and keep the Add-ons Manager open. I then highlight the text, have it read out to me. Go to the Add-ons manager, change the voice and highlight another part of the text - it's great. I like the way the voice keeps talking after the end of a line of text rather than pausing after each line which other programs do. I also use it to read out large sections of scanned text by saving them to a text file, renaming it to html and then opening it to Firefox (or whatever). If you want to follow the text as it is read, rememer to add the html code to create a new line or for a new paragraph. I like this program and would be interested in it's development for reading on line pdf documents etc. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13142610, 7 years agoSounds good, but how can I change the volume? It's too quiet on my computer.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13695197, 7 years agoVery easy to use, and the sound quality is good and natural. But how to control the volume???
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13268649, 7 years agoDoesn't work for me. Nothing happens at all, no reading, no speech, no voice, no audio, total silence.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10926038, 7 years agoThis is really great. After changing language or voice, we need to restart firefox.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13473323, 7 years agoWorks great! Also great for learning to pronounce difficult words :-)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Micro Mo, 7 years agoWorking good for me so far and I like the voice, not so robotic. Digging it. Though I'm seeing that it doesn't work on every page and I don't know why yet... Also, much like xdronetek said, I only have the female voice and no option to change it. I'm on Firefox 61 and I use a PC Windows 7. It would be nice to try out other voices.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13427041, 7 years agoGreat, responsive, single interface. FREE Keeps reading your selection even if you move to another tab in your browser!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13395401, 7 years agoRandomly opens ad page when I launched firefox today. Hard to select language via settings.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13328810, 7 years agoSolo he conseguido que lea un testo y tadó casi 15 min en empezar.
La info que pone solo habla de crome. No de Firefox - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13136457, 7 years agolooks great but does not work with :

posted 7 years agoWhich website are you trying it on? I just checked it on Firefox 54.0.1 and it seems to be working fine. Some websites do not allow add-ons to access their content. I tried it on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and I know that https://addons.mozilla.org is one of the websites that do not allow content access. - Rated 5 out of 5by xdronetek, 7 years agoResembles another addon but at least works great. One issue though, plays as US English Female only and doesn't take the other changes.

posted 7 years agoThank you for your kind words. Do you know which version of Firefox and what operating system you were testing it on? I just tested it again with a few different configurations and it seems to be working fine with changing gender and language of the voice. Also, what gender and language did you test it with?
