User reviews
After adopting this as my primary text-to-speech voice reader, I've encountered some issues. When the extension works, it's unparalleled. However, when it malfunctions, the problems are significant. For instance, the article reading feature ceases to function, refusing to read the content. Additionally, the extension sometimes stops working altogether, preventing the opening of the interface to highlight text or failing to read the highlighted text. As a free user who prefers the "David" voice option, I find the extension often switches to a premium voice, prompting an intrusive ad to subscribe or revert to the free voice, which, regrettably, seems to be missing or hidden. Using Edge on Linux exacerbates the issue, as there's no free voice option available, resulting in a relentless stream of ads. Consequently, I've discontinued using this tool as my primary text-to-speech voice reader due to its unreliability for daily use.
