- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Marooned, pred 2 letomaQuite handful however, keyboard shortcuts does not work at all. I've tried a few different ones and non of them activated text to speech. The only way working for me is to select the text and use context menu. Also the voices are very robotic but I assume it's just using those embedded in Windows so it's not the issue of the extension itself.
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Extended Player, pred 2 letomawhy can't i tap on "Singin to use Premium Voices"? It does nothing when i tap it in the Extention's settings screen! Now i'm trying to figure out how to get it back to original out how to get back onto lame default voices.
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Dollique, pred 2 letomaWorks, but only for english. When there are japanese characters (Hiragana) in the text the voice will skip them.
Also would be nice if the speed could be adjusted directly when it's reading and not only in the settings. - Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— mz2007, pred 2 letomaNie działa na androidzie firefox 124.2
Nie wiadomo jak sterować rozszerzeniem - Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— suzyjak, pred 2 letomaIt kept reading the same paragraph over and over again, so I tried to stop it !
I pressed stop-
Ishut down Firefox-
I closed every window-
I couldn't get it to stop-
Finally I had to restart my phone. That worked ツ - Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Messenger, pred 2 letomaIt is very successful, very useful, but when I select the text and open the contex menu, the browser freezes. This problem occurred after Firefox 84 release. I hope you take this improvement seriously and fix the problem. Thanks.
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 12148978, pred 2 letomaI've identified one significant problem using this add-on. That problem is that this add-on opens in a new window. It should simply open in a new tab, if it has to open a new anything at all. When an add-on opens a new window, if the user closes out the prior window with all his tabs, leaving the read aloud window open, it risks the danger of the user's prior session being wiped out, with all his tabs going with it, and when the user invokes Firefox again, all he gets is the window opened by read aloud. Unfortunately, my experience is that add-ons which claim to record and purportedly allow the reloading of prior sessions, meaning a set of tabs, simply do not work reliably when a new window has been opened.
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Toni, pred 3 letiWorked beautiful for months, now choppy. Will start reading and then stop. Tried everything to correct, updated my browser, reinstalled the addon...same result. Disappointed, need to stop wasting my time and install another tool.
Edit - tried other text to speech apps available thru firefox, they were awful. Back and hoping the issue will disappear. - Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Display Name, pred 3 letiFeature requests/suggestions
1. Most desired/important:
a. Please code it so speech doesn't stop when adjusting the speed during playback
b. Please add keyboard shortcuts to increase and decrease speed
2. Helpful:
a. Please allow users to set their own custom keys for the keyboard shortcuts
b. Please allow users to mark their preferred voices as 'Favorites' and group all favorites on the top of the drop-down list.
c. Please add keyboard shortcuts for changing the current voice to other voices added to the user's favorites
e.g.,
Voice1: Alt/Option + 1
Voice2: Alt/Option + 2
etc.
OR
Next favorite voice: Alt/Option + ]
Previous favorite voice: Alt/Option + [ - Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Shivaa212, pred 3 leti
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Minecraftchest1, pred 3 letiWorks ok, but requires using the google assistant voice which I don't like if I don't pay.

- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 13549919, pred 4 letiThere are plenty of websites that will read text aloud so I thought this would be about that quality. The voice is awful. Like really bad. It technically does the job so 3 stars but I'd sooner just end up copying the text into a site without a terrible voice. It's like a beta Microsoft Sam from Windows 3.1 circa 1992
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Esteeve, pred 4 letiThough it works fine (mostly anyway), The interface is rather bland and unattractive. And the stop button does not work.

- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— OneSource, pred 4 letiIt is kind of sad that Firefox, unlike Microsoft Edge, needs an extension to read text on a page. That is one of my top 10 reasons why I use Edge in the first place.

objavljeno ob pred 4 letiHello OneSource, please give Firefox a 3-star rating for not having built-in TTS, rather than the addon that's trying to make up for its deficiency - Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 12648956, pred 4 letiStarting off with the default voice I felt it will be a 1 star rating. I went through many voice options and they are pretty much all robotic and of low sound quality. The real slap in the face occurs when selecting a Google standard voice, you need to grant extra permissions which is fine and you are redirected to Google's text to speech site (https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/#put-text-to-speech-into-action)
The voice on the Google site (wavenet-d) is what most people would enjoy, very natural and of high sound quality BUT it is not what you then using this addon.
This addon does what it says on the tin, >eat bean every day 8-/

objavljeno ob pred 4 letiHi there, Google charges $16/million characters for Wavenet voices. Going through that permission process is the only way to get it for free, albeit for a limited time. This text-to-speech technology is still very new, that's why Google and others charge a lot of money for it. But we expect it will become a commodity in the future. Microsoft Edge indeed already provides some very high quality TTS voices for free with its browser. - Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 13948774, pred 4 letiit works but its super buggy. sometimes when i skip a paragraph it highlights the paragraph beneath it. and sometimes when i press stop it continues talking.
