Text to Speech TTS AI | Readvox

Tried on several sites in several ways. First it just loads forever. I made coffee and returned and it was still loading. Other sites and methods the same. Now when I click on the icon it doesn't do anything at all anymore. Maybe it just hates all the sites I visit or it hates Chromium or hates being on Linux Mint. The interface looks nice but the functionality is not there for me.

Hi Lacey, Yesterday I was doing servers maintenance, and performance was limited. Please check now; it should be good. If something isn't working, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at https://readvox.com/support.

REQUIRES PERMANENT INTERNET CONNETION, DOES NOT WORK OFFLINE The functionality is amazing and its easy to use, please add more voices and an offline mode, this is literally the only downside that i have seen, other than that its perfect

Hi Adrian, I'll definitely add more voices and languages. Regarding offline mode: Readvox is an extension that reads online web pages. Please reach out to me at https://readvox.com/support. I want to know more about how you envision it working offline.

I am a big multi tasker so having the ability to have things read to me (especially school related text) in high quailty audio is great while I do other tasks! The fact that it's this high quality and free is awesome! Loving it so far!

Thank you Ella! Glad to hear that it's helpful!

There's no hotkey to speak selected text or ability to choose such hotkey. There's no feature that while listening to text the user clicks on a word in the text and reading starts from that word on. Completely useless.

While I enjoy that the extension is free and the voices are decent, I have problems with it. The reader will start on page one, read the entirety of page one, and then skip to page three. After reading page three, it'll go back to read page two. I can't even get it to read the specific paragraph I want (I have all the options turned on). It also just randomly decides what page and line it wants to read. Not to mention, it can't read PDFs and certain websites. I see the potential in this exten... Show more

Hi, Darlin. The structure of the pages on different websites is greatly different. Sometimes web pages don't follow even basic standards and practices. That's probably what you've faced with the specific website. Let me know which website had the issue at https://readvox.com/support and I'll try to help.

I love this extension so much. I've been looking for a free extension for so long and this one is awesome and super easy to use. I've tried other ones but the pay walls are super annoying for something that is essential for a lot of people I appreciate that this app is free so much and cannot thank you enough.

Thank you! Glad to hear that it's helpful.

I am very impressed - I have used a lot of other text to speech platforms and this is clearly the best!

AntonDeveloperSep 12, 2024

Thank you.

Free, easy, natural voices, it's perfect! I've only been learning English for a month, and this extension has helped me a lot with reading and assimilating the language. Thank you very much!

AntonDeveloperSep 12, 2024

Thank you! Learning foreign language is challenging. More other languages are coming into readvox.

Great app. I just hope you dont start charging money like the rest. It would become the best text to speech app if you dont make it a paid service. I mean sure you can start charging for some new additional features but not for this basic app. I hope so.

AntonDeveloperSep 12, 2024

Subscription will be probably introduced. Maybe next year. But, as I mentioned in the multiple https://readvox.com/blog posts I'll make sure that moderate use will stay free.

There is a bug. When reading aloud, if there is Chinese in the English text, it will keep reading "chinese, chinese..." Hasn't the developer noticed such a simple issue?

AntonDeveloperSep 12, 2024

Readvox is only supporting English for now. You can drop me a message at https://readvox.com/support and I'll notify you when Chinese will become available.
