User reviews

Users criticize Snap&Read for its cluttered, unintuitive interface and inconsistent OCR performance, which often misses key content. Its translation tool is regarded as subpar, leading to misleading outputs. The add-on lacks adequate integration with popular platforms like Google Docs and educational LMS systems, reducing its practicality in these settings. Customer support is reportedly unresponsive and unhelpful. Many users feel the premium pricing is unjustified compared to more reliable, affordable alternatives. Overall, the extension underperforms expectations and frustrates users who rely on accessibility tools.
