      I use Opera Next 21 (21.0.1432.48) & Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.2). "Text to Speech" of OS X is not work on Opera. If I selected text of the webpage, Mac didn't speak the text. But Mac speak URL of the webpage. Incidentally, on other App, "Text to Speech" is work.

              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.

                      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!

                          Screenshot → http://photozou.jp/photo/show/124201/210895158

                          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.

                            The issue was fixed internally already. It will arrive soon to Developer stream.
