MiX So (ID: 000000c9197eabe5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/20/2023 The plugin allows you to change the speed of speech and change voices. It's very important and good! But this plugin very often stops in the middle of speech. I constantly see and hear that this plugin USUALLY stops in the middle of speech!!! It's bad...

icon

Chris Vydas (ID: 000000a1b7cc9ce4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/31/2023 Some good some bad but mostly it doesn't work. Red only a small portion not the entirety of the page, even stops mid sentence but if I hit the play button again, it restarts. Kinda a pain but it works albeit, barely. Please fix it

Diana Holiner (ID: 000000cace1f3e9d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 02/13/2023 It's fine but the voices aren't the right speed anymore and the voices aren't as good as they used to be. I liked it earlier but now I'd just rather use something else.

William Huber (ID: 0000003c42cb99ec) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/05/2023 Best TTS hands down!

Luciano Gadelha (ID: 00000086ee25cc33) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/28/2022 Do luxo ao lixo! Eu estava usando o TTSReader Text to Speech há algum tempo e realmente gostava dele. O recurso de leitura de texto era muito útil para ajudar a me concentrar enquanto trabalhava e também para acessar conteúdo que eu talvez não tivesse tempo de ler. No entanto, recentemente instalei a nova atualização e fiquei muito desapontado com a mudança de aparência. A interface antiga era muito mais fácil de usar e mais agradável de olhar, mas agora parece muito mais bagunçada e confusa. Além disso, a qualidade da voz também parece ter diminuído. Infelizmente, vou ter que procurar outra extensão de leitura de texto para usar no lugar do TTSReader.Eu realmente espero que o desenvolvedor conserte esses problemas em breve, porque eu gostava muito do TTSReader e gostaria de poder usá-lo novamente.
