Download Sound by BPS

Rated 3 out of 5
by Pocket Knight, 7 years agoI great extension to have if you download files using a slower internet connection. I prefer to download files one at a time because of the slow connection, so the alert is nice to have some I can download the next ASAP.
v1.2 worked fine for me, but since upgrading to v1.4 (skipped v1.3), I can't choose the voice I want. It uses the same voice, regardless of what I have selected in the dropdown menu. Selecting the completion tone works as expected. Using FF62dev + OSX 10.10.5.
Update 1: I discovered that this is a problem only with the "en-US" voices... all en-US voicee use the default male voice (Alex), but when I choose another nationality, like Tessa (en-ZA), it does change the voice.
Update 2: Both the github and download sound addon have 64 voices on the drop down menu.

Could you please do me a favour and enter the following link in your Firefox browser?
http://mdn.github.io/web-speech-api/speak-easy-synthesis/
Is the number of available voices on that page equal to the number of voices in "Download Sound"?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Dan Harkless, 4 months agoWorks great, unlike the Noise extension, which I loved back in the pre-WebExtension days, but which I've never been able to get to make any sounds, using the modern WE version.
Kind of a bummer, though, that you can't customize your own sound (I don't want to use voices).
Also, it would be really nice if you would offer the option (like Noise, when it works) to set up a Failed Download sound that's different from the Successful Download sound, and make both of them optional (I would generally prefer to only use a Failed sound, not a Successful one). - Rated 2 out of 5by Zim, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17730893, 3 years agoThis used to work up until recently. Now, no matter which english (US) male voice I choose, it only plays the same robotic female voice.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Akira, 4 years agohey, this is pretty good, but it'd be cool if we could set our own sounds to play when it started/finished/failed a download, maybe even for pausing and resuming
