en I attempted to use this and it works on normal web pages like news articles. Though it doesn't finish the full reading of the highlighted text. But I was hoping to do less reading for my online course. This extension does not work at all on those pages.

en I'm not sure if this desire a star. It cuts off mid-sentence and no matter what you try, couldn't seem to resolve the issues. I just deleted it.

Tried it and it cuts off mid sentence. Had to read the reviews to even figure out how to get it to work, it is incredibly slow to both read and work. You would spend so much time fiddling with it you would have about as much clue about what you just read if you just read it yourself.

Maddeningly frustrating to have it stop after a couple sentences, regardless of how much text is highlighted. Tried everything I could, but it just doesn't work.
