- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14333504, 6 years agoThis is a excellent add-on. I am Chinese and I can read English but I read very slow. With this add-on, I can read faster and can understand some of the words I do not know. The add-on also give us a lot of voice choices including man and woman voice.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Micro Mo, 6 years agoThis will get bumped to a 5 when you can tell us how to fix the context menu option from disappearing.
For the meantime, here are the short cut keys to do the same things:
To Play - Alt-P
To Stop - Alt-O
Go Forward - Alt-Period or "Alt-."
To Rewind - Alt-Comma or "Alt,"
If you should forget Alt-P - Click the button in the toolbar that looks like a megaphone, if it's playing, hit the stop button. Then click the gear button next to the play button. A larger "Options" box will open, at the top you will see "Edit shortcut keys" that will open a new tab with the short cut keys listed. Using Alt-P will speak what you highlighted. If you don't highlight anything, it reads the whole page I believe.
Oh and some might not know but the little gear button is also where you change the reading voice. I like the Amazon ones.
Hope this helps you folks out while we wait for the fix. Actually Alt-P might be easier to use than the context menu. If they made this option clearer, most people probably wouldn't care and again, I would bump my rating up to a 5, for the clarity.
One Ton Shadow © - Rated 5 out of 5by Ike Ferber, 6 years agoThe TTS (multi-language tts) worked well enough but stopped reading PDFs as FF was updated and the developer perhaps gave up. This add-on reads my PDFs beautifully and all the controls work perfectly. Thank you. Thank you.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13986199, 6 years agoGreat usability. Amazon voice "Kimberly" sounds the best to me. Very listenable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14293524, 6 years agoYeah i like how it highlights. This Text to speech FF addon is awesome!!! Yay!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14198032, 6 years agoIt does the job, however, the voice is one of those old-school 1980s movies robot voices. Still use it just wish the voice was a little different. Sometimes it's hard to understand the voice for technical Words which is the reason I got it but that's okay.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14282777, 6 years agoIt works well but it gets stuck on things. For example if its italics then it reads it over and over. Same thin with numbers it will reread it over and over.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14242954, 6 years agoSimple to use, just select your webpage text (including web-based emails), right click and click on "read aloud". Excellent choices of voices in the settings as well. A great and useful tool, definitely a keeper! Many thanks!
