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.

I recently discovered audioread and it has been a game changer for me. I often come across interesting articles that I want to read, but don't have the time or patience to sit down and read them. With audioread, I can simply listen to the articles while doing tasks that don't require active listening, like cleaning or driving. It's super helpful and has allowed me to consume more content in a way that fits my busy lifestyle. Highly recommend!
