- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16096579, 5 years agoThe add-on is great and overall it works very well. You can customize the speech speed and pitch, stop, and rewind it. That said, it does have an issue on some linux distributions where it crashes the pulseaudio driver (but not all). It's not clear why this happens, but when it does the driver has to be restarted and then the plugin doesn't work again until a reboot. It's a bit of a niche problem so I only took off one star for it. That said, I put in a bug report for it and have heard nothing back from the dev despite a patch being released after my bug report.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13556289, 5 years agoGood when it works, which is not often.
Can't go a single day without google's voices breaking and requesting to "grant permission/admission" from google's TTS page. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ty, 5 years agoIt works fine but it could be better. My only issue is that it doesn't read some math symbols properly, which is the main reason I installed this extension.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Abstract, 5 years agoTop TTS reader imo. Amazon voices are now great. Couple problems I've encountered are inability to edit shortcuts (though there's a page for that) and no speed control on the fly. I would also appreciate text highlighting to be more precise. It's hard to find what you're looking for when the whole paragraph is highlighted.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Hugo, 5 years agoVery computer-like voices and not much better than the built-in TTS feature which is built into Firefox.
