від Користувач Firefox 12914483, 8 років томуmeans absolutely nothing to me without the contextual menu that disappears after firefox closes.
5 star if they fix this issue. The shortcut Alt+p doesn't work the same way as the context menu and therefore can't be considered a replacement. The shortcut has to read the entirety of what was selected before you can make it read something else unlike the context menu button who interrupts the current text being read to start the new one you just selected.
The way I use this addon most of the time is to research subjects I'm unfamiliar with. I make it read while I keep looking at other stuff I'm researching. Most of the time, I understand what I was looking for mid read and I'm ready to TTS the next thing and it's already highlighted so I just right click to open the menu and make it read the next part I'm interested in which it does immediately by interrupting the previous text being read. The shortcut doesn't do that. If it's already reading something and I highlight something else and press alt+p, it just stops reading. If I press it again, it resumes the read of the previous text not the new highlighted one.
Could be solved by adding another shortcut like Alt+n (for next or new) to fix what's described above.
Another problem I have with this addon is that if you use more than one language, the voices options and choices become pretty much useless. In my case I want the addon to read both English and French texts sometimes. The only way to do this is to choose the Auto select option in the voice choices. Doing so give you a random voices for both languages and you have no say in what voice you want for each language. They seem to be chosen randomly as far as I can tell. The English male voice I got is one I hate and can't stand listening to, same for the french female voice I randomly got but that one is a little less annoying. If I select any other voice instead of the auto select option, then I'm stuck being only able to read one language because that same voice I chose butchers the other language it's not designed to read. I could go to the options and select the voice I want each time I switch between languages but who the hell would wanna do that?

- Оцінка 5 з 5від lamppost, 8 днів томуSo happy with this, I use it to read e-books which I open in the browser.
- Оцінка 3 з 5від kone, 9 днів томуIt would be great if there were also a context menu option called "Read aloud from here."
With the standard columns, it always pauses briefly at the end of each line. If it would first analyze the entire sentence and then read it aloud in one go, that would be much more pleasant. I would find pauses between sentences much more pleasant! - Оцінка 1 з 5від sodar, 17 днів томуI was having high hopes at first, but then I learned it doesn't let you use the different voices for TTS you may have installed on Windows, for example. I WANT TO LISTEN TO ANDREW'S VOICE DAMMIT (seriously, his TTS voice is really nice on the ears, you'll find it in Narrator settings as a "Natural" voice)

- Оцінка 2 з 5від BoxFolve, 22 дні томуKeeps skipping sentences - Very annoying. The standard voice sound like a choking tin frog. The AI voices are substantially better. But why is it skipping sentences?
- Оцінка 5 з 5від Didactic Traveller, місяць томуJust 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. - Оцінка 5 з 5від d4nchq, місяць томуIt's awesome, you can use different voices for TTS and can setup useful shortcut to run it.
- Оцінка 1 з 5від Zero, місяць томуThis 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.

- Оцінка 4 з 5від Wizsensei, 2 місяці томуVery 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.
- Оцінка 1 з 5від Mel, 2 місяці томуThe 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.
