I ran into an issue: additional voices weren’t working in Firefox, even though I really like Amazon Russian (Maxim). Interestingly, everything worked fine in Google Chrome. I managed to fix it by changing the Firefox language to English and reinstalling the extension. After that, the extension’s name changed from Russian text to "Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader," and the Google login window, which wouldn’t open before, finally worked—I was able to sign in.

By the way, the link in the Russian version didn’t work, but it might work if you replace %D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B9%D1%82%D0%B8 with sign in the Russian localization. I don’t need this anymore, but someone else might want to give it a try. Overall, I haven’t found a more convenient TTS tool—this extension is great, but it’s a pity there’s no text highlighting; that would make it even better.

Столкнулся с проблемой: дополнительные голоса в Firefox не работали, хотя мне очень нравится Amazon Russian (Maxim). При этом в Google Chrome всё функционировало без нареканий. Решил проблему, сменив язык в Firefox на английский и переустановив расширение. После этого название расширения изменилось с русского на "Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader", а окно авторизации через Google, которое ранее не открывалось, наконец заработало — я смог войти.

Кстати, ссылка в русской версии не работала, но, возможно, если заменить %D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B9%D1%82%D0%B8 на sign, она начнёт работать и на русской локализации. Мне это уже не актуально, но кто-то может попробовать. В целом, более удобного TTS я не нашёл, расширение действительно отличное, но жаль, что нет подсветки текста — это сделало бы его ещё лучше.

i wish you could use microsoft azure voice AI. it has such wonderful voices.

Ich kenne und schätze die App schon seit Jahren und haben nun die Firefox Erweiterung entdeckt. Einfach nur großartig und sehr zu empfehlen. Ich habe mir eine gute Stimme ausgesucht und mache perfekte Hörerfahrungen. Danke!

Just tremendous. Once you get over the hump of configuring it (you want to select a piper-based voice) this text to speech reader for web context is simply superior to anything else I have tried.

it is very useful as a pdf reader

🤍🤍🤍🤍

Works wonderfully well.
Thanks a lot :D

Oh just super useful extension! great work over here! T wailer !
