    Chris Wright    		 en Please update the extension ASAP to support Google's new system. CHrome 130 and later disable it, and I don't want to lose this. I paid for a voice that I rely on every day when I use the ChromeVox screen reader.

    Michelle Putnam    		 I’m disabled, and need help to read. I'll just cut to the chase, I'll be reviewing facts not opinions. FYI, I can only understand English. Is it actually free: No, and neither are the voices. Does it work?: The interface is only compatible with ONLY Chromebooks, Even when it marketed itself as being able to work on my computer. Is it as Advertised: Not in the slightest. Voices are to be paid for, and will not be provided. Why the stars? Even if I didn't have a Chromebook, the information provided is misleading. Having the extension be “free” in the voices be paid for is a scam. So advertising Functions that are not available In the product for download is misleading. (How to fix) My recommendation: Starting with the obvious, clearly labeled application as only designed for Chromebooks, then clearly states that the consumer needs to purchase voices.
