2023-12-15 | Karen | Loads of voice options; all that I tried sounded natural. Read smoothly and got me through a text-only module. I've not tried uploading anything as there are more than enough voice options for me. | |
2022-09-21 | Wilkes, | works just okay when it works. won't let me upload most pdfs (no idea what makes some work and others not) and interrupts sentences to read page numbers and headers. As a student I would absolutely not recommend this for academic reading. | |
2022-02-22 | Anthony | Will quickly get out of sync and jumps all over the page. This app does not work as intended. | |

2021-04-24 | Cubanitto | The extension does not read what is highlighted on the web site. After I click on the "Read from here" menu option the extension reads text from somewhere else on the web site. | |
2021-04-07 | A | Can you please please make highlight words more than just sentence? I beg you! | |
2020-09-01 | Bonnitto | Since making the jump from Chrome to Edge I have found this to be the best text to speech app. Lot's of control over the readback. | |
