Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 18662249, 2 years agoThe googlecloud voices are pretty good, but they don't play well with VPN (I have to update their permissions at least once per day). So be prepared for choppy robot voices, or having to do extra steps to use the add on every day.
It would also be nice if instead of having a separate popout window, it just highlighted the word it was reading on the webpage itself, with just pause/play and skip buttons. (Even better if I could click on the page and play from there instead of having to skip a bunch of the content to find where I want to resume listening)
All of that said, the add-on does read the pages for me, and once I confirm I'm not a robot the google voices are great.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Didactic Traveller, 11 days 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, 14 days agoIt's awesome, you can use different voices for TTS and can setup useful shortcut to run it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Zero, 15 days 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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Wizsensei, a month agoVery good. Only problem when i try in normal page it very slow loading or sometimes doesnt load at all. To fix this i open extension options and click test button.When test sound plays(which is very fast) then extension becames responsive and i can play other page i want without waiting or problem.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mel, a month agoThe voice volume was so low I could not understand what it was reading. It was so low because the voice sound was coming through my Mac Mini M4 built in speakers and I was about 15 feet distant. There is no apparent means of choosing where the sound output goes.
