## Review summary

Novel Speech is highly valued for its ability to read aloud and navigate pages, with customizable dictionaries enhancing the experience. However, users report that the Firefox version is outdated compared to Chrome, lacking some features and updates. Playback issues occur on multiple novel websites, where reading stops unexpectedly or fails to resume without refreshing. Certain characters cause interruptions in playback. Users hope for Firefox updates and better compatibility with more speech engines.

### Pros

- Supports both reading aloud and page turning, making it an ideal add-on for users.
- Allows registration of ruby (furigana) readings and custom dictionaries, improving reading quality.
- Highly praised for its useful and convenient functionality, appreciated by users.
- Receives continuous improvements based on user feedback, including dictionary synchronization between devices.

### Cons

- Firefox version lags behind Chrome version in updates and features, causing user dissatisfaction.
- Reading stops when encountering certain characters like '……', interrupting playback.
- Add-on stops reading or doesn't resume properly when moving to the next chapter without refreshing the page, especially on certain novel sites.
- Some novel sites like 'なろう小説' and 'ハーメルン' have become unsupported due to site-side changes, causing the add-on to fail reading aloud.
