- Noté 3 sur 5par OneSource, il y a 5 ansIt is kind of sad that Firefox, unlike Microsoft Edge, needs an extension to read text on a page. That is one of my top 10 reasons why I use Edge in the first place.

mis en ligne : il y a 5 ansHello OneSource, please give Firefox a 3-star rating for not having built-in TTS, rather than the addon that's trying to make up for its deficiency - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 16912092 de Firefox, il y a 5 ans
- Noté 3 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 12648956 de Firefox, il y a 5 ansStarting off with the default voice I felt it will be a 1 star rating. I went through many voice options and they are pretty much all robotic and of low sound quality. The real slap in the face occurs when selecting a Google standard voice, you need to grant extra permissions which is fine and you are redirected to Google's text to speech site (https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/#put-text-to-speech-into-action)
The voice on the Google site (wavenet-d) is what most people would enjoy, very natural and of high sound quality BUT it is not what you then using this addon.
This addon does what it says on the tin, >eat bean every day 8-/

mis en ligne : il y a 5 ansHi there, Google charges $16/million characters for Wavenet voices. Going through that permission process is the only way to get it for free, albeit for a limited time. This text-to-speech technology is still very new, that's why Google and others charge a lot of money for it. But we expect it will become a commodity in the future. Microsoft Edge indeed already provides some very high quality TTS voices for free with its browser. - Noté 4 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 16096579 de Firefox, il y a 5 ansThe 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.

- Noté 2 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13556289 de Firefox, il y a 5 ansGood 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. - Noté 1 sur 5par Ty, il y a 5 ansIt 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.

- Noté 4 sur 5par Abstract, il y a 5 ansTop 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.
- Noté 1 sur 5par Hugo, il y a 5 ansVery computer-like voices and not much better than the built-in TTS feature which is built into Firefox.

- Noté 3 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13948774 de Firefox, il y a 5 ansit works but its super buggy. sometimes when i skip a paragraph it highlights the paragraph beneath it. and sometimes when i press stop it continues talking.
- Noté 5 sur 5par Carlos Tosca, il y a 5 ansNo tenia ninguna expectativa sobre esta extension, pero realmente me sorprendio.
Me gusta mucho anda bien y las voces sinteticas son agradables.
