- Yettwasezmel 2 ɣef 5sɣur sup2069, 2 dagar sidanRecent changes now lock certain voices behind a paywall. Rolling back to version 1.4.1 brings my favorite voice back!

yeffeɣ-d deg 17 timar sidanThis is no longer the case, I have made all the voices free as it was before - Yettwasezmel 2 ɣef 5sɣur Patrice, 17 dagar sidanA lot has changed in 2 weeks, now it's partly a pay add-on for some voice.
The developer want to change the "free" voice every 2 weeks, thus everything I did with the voice I did use, will be like throwing all to the trash... it does not make sense to have multiple different voice for my chapters...
In just 2 weeks the developer change too much things, inconsistency... makes this add-on unreliable, something you cannot count on it, that's sad.
Now I see it as a bait, and I don't like to be baited.
But in the end, it did force me to find a better solution > kokorodoki on github, it has a GPL V3 license, truly free, no internet needed and it's a very good TTS, even better than this addon, and once you have chosen a voice you keep it, not like this add-on...
Original review:
Perfect!
Easy to use, copy/paste or drag and drop your text.
The voice is nice and very "expressive" like a human.
Thank you developer.Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg 17 timar sidanSo a couple of things here:
1- The free version has all of the voices and also has all the core features including downloading and listening audio, i made sure to add the subscription feature in a way such that the extension is still usable for free users.
2- I have been spent hours (months even) on this project and kept it free. Due to my personal situation, I wanted to get support, i don't think that's a crime?
3- Any good developer is not afraid to ship things and then change them based off of user feedback, i knew there was going to be push back, but that doesn't mean i'll just stay quiet :)
4- If u want the entire extension that bad you can always just take a few weeks/months to code up a similar extension

- Yettwasezmel 1 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 18404318, 3 månader sidanDoes not work with anything other than downloaded files. Can't even copy paste text in (I tried).
Very, very careful wording by the devs on this page to not make that obvious in the description.Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg 3 månader sidanThis is obviously an attempt to discredit the extension. Guys I'd advise using the extension for yourselves and not taking this review as fact. The extension works. I have over 5000 users on firefox and chrome that can attest to that.
Furthermore, there is nothing misleading about the extension. You would have realized that the extension cannot yet read web pages if you even slightly glimpsed at the pictures or the extension description. - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Rahul, 4 månader sidanit is very tiresome to use but very promising extension,you should also make it support for browsers ,,whereby one click we can read in the browser itself.otherwise i would have raed 5.sorry i would return after the feature
- Yettwasezmel 1 ɣef 5sɣur Spooky-Muffin, 5 månader sidanThis is just a glorified shortcut to the ChatGPT website, not an in-browser text reader
Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg 5 månader sidanYes, it uses the ChatGPT website to an extent, similar to how hundreds of other extensions use the ChatGPT API, but it has features that make it possible to take advantage of the ChatGPT website in a manner that a regular human simply would not be able to.
For example:
1- ChatGPT does not allow you to toggle audio for your specific text, this extension allows for that by making ChatGPT repeat back user provided text and then toggling the audio accordingly
2- This extension allows you to choose the voices instead of going all the way to settings, making it easy and convenient for users
3- This extension supports sending large texts to ChatGPT and have it repeat back to you by splitting that text into pieces and sending them one by one automatically for the user
4- This extension allows you to download audio for your provided text
5- The extension allows you to have a good reading UI with a play/pause button as well as a playback speed option, which is necessary for readers
Now, some of these you can probably have the website do it for you, although it would take you a lot of time. While others, it is simply not possible without the extension like numbers 4 and 5.
So no, it is not just a "glorified shortcut", understand how something works as well as the value it provides before giving it such a rating.
Also, the pictures clearly DO NOT mention anything about in-browser reading, so make sure to read the description before using extensions.
To other users who might be reading this: in-browser will eventually be supported :) - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur pnhan, 5 månader sidanThe voice quality is the best!!
Just a bit problem when you need to copy and paste your content that need to read, but I believe thing will improve over time.Tiririt n ineflayen
