User reviews
It works as intended, not complicated and not overengineered.
I'd improve 2 points:
1. Voice is spoken too fast. I'd slow it down to half, but I'm not a native. Still adjusting it could help!
2. If used by context menu, I have no idea how to easily interrupt the speaker
All in all, Good basics, not so much comfort ;)
