Automatik Text Reader is a free and open source plug-in for Firefox providing text-to-speech functions available from the Mozilla Add-ons collection. It supports multiple languages and accents and is capable to autonomously recognize the language of written text and activate the respective speech synthesis engine.[1] Amongst the peculiar features, the voice speed is adjustable and the text selection is automatic. [2][3]

Supported languages

Automatik Text Reader has support for English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Russian. The quality of the synthesis varies significantly between the languages though, with English being the smoothest, most natural-sounding voice.[4]

Limitations

Being a Firefox plug-in, Automatik Text Reader requires Firefox to run and cannot be installed standalone. Also, for very short texts composed of three words or less, the language detector may fail to recognize the correct language.[5]
