en | New review (2024) - BUG - TTS system seems to be broken. Voices jitters and cannot read properly as humans and voices do. Problem with all voices. Hey dev, loved the addon improved a lot but then bugs are still there. Right now, I'm talking about the bug of not reading the headline or title of the blog post. The TTS reading starts from the content not the heading. Please look into this. On firefox and librewolf browser, your addon struggles to work. Please also look into this. Older review (2023) - When I started using reader view addon few years ago, it was less buggy and worked flawlessly but now it is buggy and not working as it was intended. The reader view of the page is broken, takes only 50 percent of the text and rest is missing. In TTS mode, it doesn't read the title or bullet points or wherever points exists (for example take any page from site https://www.healthline.com/). Also when using TTS, the popup of the voice, speed and lang. doesn't open up or minimize properly. The lack of fonts out of the box from settings is disappointing. If dev is really updating this addon constantly, please check the problems both for chrome and firefox users. Usable but very problematic. No updates yet for the bugs and issues. |

en | I love this extension. It is very useful for saving educational and informational resources to my personal knowledge reference database. In my previous review I mention that I wished the extension could save highlights, notes, and other such annotations when saving to html, and/or printing to pdf. Well, I am happy to say I have since discovered this IS possible and no longer an issue. The one thing I would still like to see is an option to select and use multiple colors for differentiation of highlights in addition to just yellow. Thanks for the effort in the continued development of this extension. I also agree with the recent review posted by @Parth Sarsavadiya about having the ability to distill the essence of an article by being able to summarize highlighed parts of an article or essary into a concise summary. There is a simple extension, 'Highligher' that performs this function admirably (copy all highlights to paste elsewhere) but unfortunately as an extension it will not function within another extension. The only option is, if the developers of reader view incorporate this in a subsequent release of Reader View. |
