Can I use this audio to upload on YouTube? Would uploading it violate copyright?

La pausa del punto è troppo lunga.

Quando arriva nella pausa del punto (.) di Google Traslate Italian la pausa è troppo lunga, prima la pausa era molto più breve, andava benissimo.
La Versione 2.13.0 era ottima, se potete, accorciate la pausa del punte che è esageratamente lunga.

please remove the breath and readaloud does not gets closed after reading.

please remove the breath ( small delay between sentences), because reading a text book takes more time now.
readaloud does not gets closed after reading the selected text, because its taking breath.

The audio cuts off midway while reading the specified range.

Version:
2.13.0
Update:
November 20, 2024

The application has been functioning without any issues for several years, but since the version mentioned above, the text specified for playback stops midway. It seems there is a bug where the audio remains silent, and only the last few lines are played. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

last couple of days, it only reads about half the time

I love this extension and have been using it for more than 5 years. but in the last day or two, it' has been acting flakey.

whether I just press alt-P or select text and right click/read aloud, it only starts reading every other time or so. I need to repeat the action twice before it starts reading. I tried remove and reinstall and it didn't help.

what changed that could cause this behavior? thanks in advance.

Sometimes plays back in other voices

Windows 11, all patches current, default voice, v2.11.0.
I have been seeing this issue for at least 2 years. I live in US and only speak English, but I have co-workers all over the world. Sometimes when I highlight an english email it will read it back to me with a French voice, or Indian, or German. Sometimes it reads it back to me in a language I cannot identify. I would like to know if there is a way I can tell Read Aloud to always read back to me in US English.

Using too much of my CPU

First of all i would just like ot sya that i don't have a great CPU. i'm using a i5-3470 and am using the Piper Alba-Medium(emglish) voice on a novel while i work on another tab. I never encountered any problems while doing this however, since 2 or 3 days ago read aloud suddenly has started to eat up to 50% of my CPU usage every time it tried to generate a new sentence.

I've never encountered this problem before. Is there any way to fix this?

The first few words of most sentences read aloud at a lowered volume

The first few words of most sentences read aloud at a very low volume. This just started happening last month. I've been using Read aloud for over a year and never had this problem. The problem occurs on multiple different computers. I cannot find any setting for this. I tried speeding up and down the read speed, but the problem still occurs. I've tried different voices, but the problem still occurs. Thanks in advance for any help.
