This has been a nice extension until last night. The Google UK English Male voice was very clear and had high quality, but ever since last night, this voice has been very unclear and has low quality. I liked it when it was clear with high quality. A lot of the other voices which used to have high quality now have low quality too.
Worst function ever i downloaded it and it reads as and it and does not read the entire text it will stop whenever it wants to and decide not to read.
Awesome!
Спасибо! Очень полезное приложение! У меня на ПК был установлен синтезатор речи от RHVoice с голосами, выбрал голос Anna и пока всё супер, как на ЯБ.
Bonjour, application très bien, possibilité d’avoir du “Wavenet”… de plus lorsque je choisi la voix Google cela coupe et ne fini jamais de lire texte… Merci pour cette super application.
loveit
This app is AMAZING! I use it every day. Big thanks to the team behind this app! Fully deserves all its 5 star reviews!
ЧИТАЕТ 6-7 СТРОК, ЗАТЕМ => ТИШИНА !
designer muito bonito e util o problema é que quando pausa volta do início
Nice product. very helpful and easy to use.
I used to love this app and the control of it. However lately it just stops randomly. Not good anymore.
best app in world
Fica sendo desativada, a todo o momento, pois o chrome a considera não segura!
Excelente extensão! Extremamente útil para praticar inglês.
Voice sounds so natural, I don’t use any other app.
Quando funzionerà bene anche la lingua “Google Italiano” sarò lieto di dare 5 stelle
Phenominal reader, easy to use, FREE!
I’d Recommend getting another voice from IVONA or Neospeech, or another source.
Очень полезное приложение
И что это приложение делает? Читает когда ему вздумается.
Из 20 текстов может прочитать один, в лучшем случае.
Оценка одна- фуфло!!!!
Good voice. Great extensions. I have tried a couple and like this once the most.
haven’t use it that much however when I did, like reading a disclaimer its awesome!
mine stop working after like 4 weeks dose anyone know how to make it work again
muy real
I would like it if the google voices didn’t stop, but fortunately, iSpeech seems to work pretty well, despite some flaws avoided by the google TTS. (like iSpeech not handling certain types of apostraphes properly)
Спасибо! Пользуюсь им уже года 3
