Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader by LSD Software
Review by Josh
Rated 5 out of 5
by Josh, 6 years agoit works really good. but i'm seeing some errors in the debug screen. i'm no coder so i just googled it. I tried the uninstall reinstall from store. i don't see where its causing me problems, or this might be why It sometimes forgets its permissions from google. either way, i've used this extension for years. thank you. below is the output to my error in case it helps you.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Peca, 2 days agoIt's a quite good tool. It allows to listen article or web. Is is especially good when walking or have something other to do (like dish, laundry...). The voice synthesis is sometimes weird which is rather an issue of selected TTS engine than extension itself.
The most annoying flaw is loosing position in a long text when paused or internet signal lost. This mean manually locate part of text where to continue. Any search function or automatic bookmark insertion would be very useful. - Rated 5 out of 5by Seän "frostbyte" Shepherd, 2 days ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Dilesh Fernando, 5 days agoread aloud is a good extension but the robotic voice sucks
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19538464, 10 days agoRead Aloud has been great, but recently (about 20/10/25) the usual English options all got replaced by a lower quality robotic voice. And while Piper is an option and was recommended, none of the options were suitable for me now matched the higher quality reading of the voice I was familiar with. Please can this be undone? This extension is near unusable for me. I just wish to give my user experience on these voices

- Rated 2 out of 5by That One Guy, 25 days agoI really like it on Firefox, but it really fails on Thunderbird, I hope you can update the Thunderbird version and get it working as well as the Firefox version.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ndb, 2 months agosince they introduced the piper voices it got a lot better. it's not perfect, but it's WAY better with the piper voices now.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17317368, 2 months agoTried to use it in Firefox on Mint: The voices are straight out of a horror movie. Not close to reality a bit and horrifying at the same time. There is one called female whisper, and it sounds like a witch whispering to you in a dark forest in a dead of night while you are sleeping.
- Rated 4 out of 5by GollumsRing, 2 months agoExcellent extension. It would be great if it could omit pronouncing the citations at the end of sentences as well as being able to pause after a period in the sentence. Also, if it could avoid reading hyperlinks, that would be cool too. Otherwise, its 5 stars
