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. | |

This only reads 28 words at a time, no matter how much text you select. I constantly had to reselect new text to read. You can change the pitch and speed, but it's not worth it. | |

No matter what text I select, It just doesn't work. No action is happening after pressing the button. | |

You have to highlight the text on a page in order to hear it and it only reads like two lines at a time - even if you highlighted a whole article. Not good for low vision accessibility, but if you like highlighting text it's fine. |
