Troubleshooting

Quick fixes.

Choose the issue that sounds closest. Most problems take less than a minute to resolve.

01No readable text

Select the passage you want, then open ReadAloud AI and press play again. Browser settings pages and the Chrome Web Store cannot be read by extensions.

Try selecting a paragraph first
02Narration works, but highlighting stopped

Some canvas-based or highly dynamic pages do not expose matching text nodes. Narration continues safely. Try selecting the passage or reloading the page.

Audio will keep playing safely
03The cloud voice is slow to start

ReadAloud AI times out stalled requests, retries once and can switch to a Browser/System voice automatically. Check that fallback is enabled.

Keep browser fallback enabled
04No system voices appear

Voice lists sometimes load after the panel. Wait a moment and reopen the voice control. Installing an operating-system voice can add more local choices.

Reopen the voice menu
05The controls disappeared

Open ReadAloud AI from the toolbar again or use the browser side panel. Playback state is kept for the current browser session.

Your place should be preserved
06The wrong words are spoken

Send the page address, the exact sentence, chosen voice and what you heard. Do not include private page content you are not comfortable sharing.
