Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader by LSD Software
Review by Ezol
Rated 5 out of 5
by Ezol, 6 years agoExcellent add-on. It help me ALOT in my daily life when searching, reading, learning or reading the news (have Autism 1/Aspberger and ADD).
I gain alot from varieing with this app and reading what I can myself the 'normal' way.
1. This add-on is awesome. The best way to us it is to mark what you want to read up and then right click and select the add-ons icon "Read Aloud".
2. The second way to use it is to just click on the icon in your browsers right corner and it will read EVERYTHING on the page you have open in front of you :)
The only main problem with the apps function, is that is has a hard time reading text and sentences in the way that they are written.
- Can sometimes bunch them together, doesn't skip some onessary parts/symbols.
- Have a hard time reading text från PDF-files in the browser (they usually are wierd in format to begin with so it's tricky)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel Vartanian, 2 months agoAmazing! Who needs Speechify when you can use OpenAI voices directly!

- Rated 5 out of 5by lamppost, 2 months agoSo happy with this, I use it to read e-books which I open in the browser.
- Rated 3 out of 5by kone, 2 months agoIt would be great if there were also a context menu option called "Read aloud from here."
With the standard columns, it always pauses briefly at the end of each line. If it would first analyze the entire sentence and then read it aloud in one go, that would be much more pleasant. I would find pauses between sentences much more pleasant! - Rated 1 out of 5by sodar, 3 months agoI was having high hopes at first, but then I learned it doesn't let you use the different voices for TTS you may have installed on Windows, for example. I WANT TO LISTEN TO ANDREW'S VOICE DAMMIT (seriously, his TTS voice is really nice on the ears, you'll find it in Narrator settings as a "Natural" voice)

- Rated 2 out of 5by BoxFolve, 3 months agoKeeps skipping sentences - Very annoying. The standard voice sound like a choking tin frog. The AI voices are substantially better. But why is it skipping sentences?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Didactic Traveller, 3 months agoJust want to counter the people rating one star and saying there's only awful voices. There are really good ones, particularly supertonic. Just download them in the settings and activate them. Seriously, try opening the settings before review bombing.
Moreover, the native PDF support is quite good. PDFs can cause trouble with this sort of software, yet it works great here. - Rated 5 out of 5by d4nchq, 3 months agoIt's awesome, you can use different voices for TTS and can setup useful shortcut to run it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Zero, 3 months agoThis extension was great! I have problems seeing font on dark websites because there isn't a light mode toggle on some of them. So, I use to use this to read what was posted. However, I was going to use it again today, it now asks for permission for all open url data when before it just did what it was meant to do. No thank you to that. It'd be great if it returned back to what it originally did.
