I tried this way. But the selected text became not selected. And Mac didn't speak the text, and Mac Spoke the URL of website.

Please fix this! No speech of selected text, but the urls of some of the tabs and some headers text, weird.

Opera is a great browser but...
from Opera 22 the speech to text doesn't work anymore.
as a dyslexic person I find this a major issue, fix it please.

Issues is still in Opera Developer 24.0.1543.0 as of June 30th 2014, I would very much love to see this get fixed. Without it I don't see myself using Opera for much longer.

The issue was logged on our bug tracking system and one of the developers is already working on it.

Must be a serious issue...

The issue should have already been fixed in Opera 24.

New in the upcoming Opera 25 is that you can right-click on selected text and get Speech options from the context-menu.

I can get speech by the context-menu of Opera developer 25. But I can't get speech by the context-menu of Opera Next 24. Because "Speech" menu is not appeared on the context-menu of Opera Next 24.

And I can't get speech by the keyboard-shortcut of Opera Dev 25 and Next 24. In this case of keyboard-shortcut, Mac don't speak the selected text. Mac speak URL of the webpage that I selected text.

I use Opera Next 24 (24.0.1558.51) and Opera developer 25 (25.0.1614.5), and Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.4).

I updated from Opera Next 24 to Opera Beta 25 (25.0.1614.11). "Speech" menu is appeared on the context-menu!

But I can't still get speech by the keyboard-shortcut of Opera Beta 25. Mac still spoke the URL of webpage by the keyboard-shortcut.
