- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Jonsmon, ien jier lynThis addon works quite well on my PC.
For those complaining about the robotic sounding voice... Try switching to "GoogleTranslate English" voice or one of Google's other voices. - Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 18418147, ien jier lynIt's gotten worse. It still works, but it randomly stops sometimes then you only have to start over at the top of the text. It used to be able to read things to me in the background but it only does that for a few paragraphs and then stops again. Basically, it's buggy and used to work better.
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch forrest phantom, ien jier lynvery much impressed by its detection of language and pronunciation.
- Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch Lucas, ien jier lynThe good point is that it reads smoothly. It highlights the paragraphs, which is helpful, but not the words being read. Therefore it is difficult for me to know where in the paragraph we are, if I want to start follow the reading at any point of the flow.
It opens a little window on the top right of the browser and this window closes down if you click somewhere else. This is not useful if you like to take notes while being shown where in the text the reading is happening.
No images are shown in that window, only text. Therefore sometimes I don't know to which picture I should look at in the original page (in the text sometimes it says "...as demonstrated in the picture on the left"). I tried to scroll down on the original text whenever I heard that but then the little window would close and I'd lost myself once again. Too much cognitive load.
In my opinion it would be best if the read aloud took place in the original page, not in a popup window. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch henryk, 2 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch KlowIsHere, 2 jierren lynVery robotic voice, and it always cuts the last syllable of each paragraph.

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.
