- Avaliado em 3 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 13506381 , há 4 anosOption screen turns out to be black when I click on addon shortcut from toolbar. Addon freezes up as well.
The quality of the corresponding Chrome extension feels much better. Would love to see that stability here as well. - Avaliado em 4 de 5por Necroheadbanger , há 4 anos
- Avaliado em 3 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 14629546 , há 4 anosI really like the user interface and how a reader can easily select a sentence. There are options for changing the speed, too. I don't like that I can only use system voices (which on my device are terrible). Additionally, it sometimes skips around on the page, but refreshing helps that.

- This is the best screen reader out there. It repeats itself and gets stuck a lot less than its competitors- webpage graphics etc. do sometimes confuse it, but not a huge amount. Most of the time, it gets through a whole page without glitching out. My one suggestion is that more voice options are available, rather than just one British woman and one American woman.
- Avaliado em 3 de 5por squidbeaksplatoon , há 5 anosI downloaded this since my professor recommended it as a text-to-speech program, but lately (after the latest bug fix update) sentences will begin cut off. Like it will completely cut out the first word of every sentence and go from there. This is amazing when it works, but unfortunately for me this is too big a flaw to be using it as of right now.

- Despite the limited selection of voices and no access to Google Cloud TTS (like Read Aloud does), I prefer this to Read Aloud because this lets you personalize the Shortcuts, it scrolls the page, it highlights the text, it starts reading from where I click (IF it was reading already).
EDIT: I was too quick in my test.
Skipping text via any of the available options (shortcuts or the transport keys in the menu which opens when you click on the icon on the top bar) is NOT working.
As soon as you use any button, the addon gets crazy and start reading the same line or going forth and back, also in complete de-sync with the highlighted text.
And whatever key is assigned to the "play/pause" function, it only works while the Addons Menu is open, otherwise it doesn't. Also, Space, the key universally used for Play/Pause of any media content, can't be assigned to this function. - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 15969612 , há 5 anos
- After Google read aloud failed in Firefox, I tried Pericles. So far mostly performing as expected.
- reads pdf after uploading
- reads the current webpage seamlessly
Does not read pages with mixed text + audio +video. So complex type webpages are a problem.
Wish there were more speaker style options. - Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 15200517 , há 6 anosSo far it works well, some website seem to block the extension but for a start it is pretty good and the voices are pretty understandable.

Resposta do programador
publicado a há 6 anosI'll gladly try to help, if you give more details - when does CPU overload occur? Auto-scan might use abit of CPU when used on big websites, since it's doing alot of sorting and stuff - still you could report the pages which are slow so I can have a look, Thanks
