CloseReviews for Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader
5 reviews for this add-on
Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Seems to work with TBIRD v 115.12.1 (6/19/2024), but does stops after a couple of sentences. Also, takes a couple of clicks on the RMB selections to engage to read the text. The Firefox version works perfectly!
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
This NOT easy to install. It is BS the that the accessibility tools are not easily accessible on a basic app that is not a necessary utility to use .
Hey Mod: Consider those that are neurodivergent and have learning disabilities. Not hard, your Devs should be able to to it and if not...get new developers.

very good. but the Thunderbird extension has less voices available than the same extension in Firefox.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.59.1).Rated 5 out of 5 stars
The add-on reads emails out loud. It's very helpful for my mom, who has vision loss. She also uses Windows Narrator, but the latter is unable to read certain emails with complex formatting, which Read Aloud can handle. (Read Aloud seems to read the plain text version of a message, while Narrator tries to read its HTML version.)
The developer has responded to bug reports and feature requests with a new version within 24 hours.

Excellent addon. I set this up for a friend who has a disability. She is now able to have emails read out loud to her in Thunderbird.
The developer was quick to respond to my questions, which enabled me to create customized voice recognition commands (Dragon NS) utilizing the addon's keyboard shortcut keys.
I wish more developers would take the time to create keyboard shortcuts for their work, as it is a huge help for accessibility.
Thank you!
