All voices sound very very robotic #336

The firefox extension randomly starts sounding terrible and stays that way no matter the voice i change it to. Im running kali linux but it also happens in my Windows 10 VM. It is basically unusable.

Could you include some screenshots of what voices are available in the Options page? The quality of the voices depend on the OS, and there's not much Read Aloud can do about that. If you pick the cloud-based voices, those should work more consistently because they're synthesized from the cloud, such as the "ReadAloud Generic Voice".

Thanks yea, normally it must select that one by default and for some reason it changed. There are so many voices and all the ones i tried, about 20+, sounded terrible but that one works as it did before. Thanks :)
