Everything was excellent after they decided to charge for "Premium" voices.

It worked great until last week, then it stopped working correctly.

I love being able to highlight a paragraph or more, right click, then hit Read Aloud and it reads the selected text to me. Around Wednesday, October 19, 2022, I selected the text I wanted it to read and right clicked, and the option was gone.

I went to Settings and I do still have Read Aloud turned on and the icon is in the toolbar, but if I click on the icon on this page, it says "Missing host permission for the tab." I click the gear icon, and it has everything set correctly. If I select the text I want it to read and hit alt-p it starts reading, but stops before the end of the selection.

Please set it back to the way it was.

Era semplicemente perfetto. Ora si blocca durante la lettura.

Nope. Nope nope nope to the tenth power--nope. I figure if you create and app or extension...it should work. Nothing but an empty box and a spinning wheel loads. Says it's pulling content--clearly cannot. That is sort of the point of the thing, isn't it? So.. nope. EDIT: UPDATE: 2 years later, still a nope. Still not working.

Reads a paragraph, does not go to next one but re-reads it

nowhere is there useful information as how to fix or even what this is.

trash.

Once it starts reading out loud, I can't stop it without closing the browser. Stop button does nothing 🧐

Dreadful synthesised voice

pretty much none of the buttons do what they are supposed to. And clicking on any part of the text actually does nothing.

commands dont work and trouble reading text this makes it very hard to operate.

RUBBISH! I'm trying to have an online course read out and it's stuck on the main page! Don't know how to unstick it and move it to read the page I'm physically looking at!

what is this shit, orca scks now this sucks too; it doesn't work with other voices but it neither redirects me to sign-in page by which i can use other "premium voices" ,
please fix it

The (English) voice is very robotic and ugly. I don't know bau this is related with Firefox. The same extension works fine with beautiful and natural voices in Chrome.

Unpleasant robotic voice, like the one of the built-in Firefox reader.

It was great at first but then whatever trial period there was on the premium voices ran out and after spending way, way too long trying to figure out how to purchase access to those voices I gave up and used Zira. Then today after using it for a couple of weeks it went buggy. The stop button and the forward and back buttons stopped working and the reading speed seemed to be off. Even closing the tab wouldn't stop it from reading. Finally had to turn it off in Firefox settings and just went ahead and uninstalled it. While looking for a way to get the better voices I found out FF already has a built in TTS.
