[Read Aloud] Always selecting Premium voice when opening a new item

mjthoraval · March 3, 2026

I do not have Premium Voice minutes anymore. So I switch to Standard.
But every time I open a new item in a tab, the Read Aloud opens with "Premium" selected, and therefore does not work.
I would be better to remember the previously used settings.

It does remember the last used settings if I change the Voice, but not for the first two fields: Premium/Standard and the language.

Here are some simple steps to reproduce to illustrate better the problem:
1) Restart Zotero and open a PDF in a tab.
2) Start Read Aloud, and open the Options:

4) Close the Read Aloud and restart it.
→ It goes back to Premium, while I would expect to start reading with the last used setting, which is Standard.
