Nice extension. The text to speech engine is really good, so it doesn't feel like you're listening to a rambling robot, but rather a real human (mostly). I Would love to have an Android app for this as well.

I'm changing my review after I found out that it gives you reading up to 2500 words on every web article you add for free, and automatically selects a voice for you, but it's an ultra-realistic voice indeed, still not going to subscribe to it because the pop-up is a pain, clicking anywhere and it will be gone and you have to open the extension again, no volume control, a big rectangle that you can't hide, Keep in mind that It will require you to enter your credit card info before you even start your free trial .. 10$/Month!! I can't recommend it.
