2023-12-15 Karen Loads of voice options; all that I tried sounded natural. Read smoothly and got me through a text-only module. I've not tried uploading anything as there are more than enough voice options for me.
2022-09-21 Wilkes, works just okay when it works. won't let me upload most pdfs (no idea what makes some work and others not) and interrupts sentences to read page numbers and headers. As a student I would absolutely not recommend this for academic reading.
2022-02-22 Anthony Will quickly get out of sync and jumps all over the page. This app does not work as intended.
2022-01-26 Danko I wanted something to read my kindle books from the kindle cloud reader, and this is not it. Doesn't work with kindle cloud reader 2022
2021-08-19 Sasha I went to the website and it just gives me an error when I press play. Nothing happens. Removing.
2021-05-22 [email protected] I heve used many appls like this one, and deffinetley this is the best one so far, very good with 3rd languages like French and Spanish. Its much more accurate than even paid versions, this one if for free! thanks! keep developing!
2021-04-24 Cubanitto The extension does not read what is highlighted on the web site. After I click on the "Read from here" menu option the extension reads text from somewhere else on the web site.
2021-04-07 A Can you please please make highlight words more than just sentence? I beg you!
2020-09-01 Bonnitto Since making the jump from Chrome to Edge I have found this to be the best text to speech app. Lot's of control over the readback.
2020-08-25 [email protected] Extension works really good and I can clearly see that there was a lot of passion put on its development. All my respect and apperceptions sent to the developer who made my life easier with this wonderful extension.
