Review summary

User feedback centers on several positives: the extension is easy to use and quick to set up, offers very good, expressive voice output, and provides free core functionality with optional paid upgrades. The ability to download audio for offline listening is also appreciated. However, critics point to paywalls and usage limits that restrict features, as well as copy/paste/input restrictions and the perception that it isn’t a fully in-browser reader (often acting as a shortcut to ChatGPT). A few users report reliability hiccups and privacy concerns. Overall, it delivers solid text-to-speech with notable trade-offs.

Pros

Very easy to use and quick to test text-to-speech with ChatGPT.
High-quality, expressive, and natural-sounding voices.
Core features are free to use, with optional paid upgrades for more.
Allows downloading audio for offline listening.
Works as advertised and generally runs smoothly.

Cons

Paywalls and feature limits: many capabilities are behind a paid upgrade or capped by word/character limits.
Copy-paste limitations: limited input methods and some workflows can't easily paste text.
Not an in-browser reader: often requires opening ChatGPT or a new tab, rather than reading in-page.
Reliability issues: some users report it stops working or only opens the ChatGPT page.
Privacy concerns: reports of chat data being deleted or privacy risks.

2026-08-06	Sa*****	This is not a screen reader, but just a UI for sending text or documents to ChatGPT and get an audio file back. Since it can not access the current page DOM or accessibility tree, a lot of information, including language attributes, semantic markup (such as <em> and <strong>), which control how the text is to be spoken, gets lost in the process. And don't even dream of "aural" CSS-styles. All in all, rather disappointing :-/

2026-07-26	Ga*****	Amazing and so easy to use. I can turn anything I write into an audiobook. So useful, as I can listen back to my notes of the day, from meetings or my own fiction. Works like a dream with Firefox. 10/10
