It would have been great, you can change the pitch and volume very specifically, but you can't use it. When you go to start it, it pops up and it just shows what should be a loading icon, but it's just a circle that you can mess with. I don't get it, are you supposed to put the text in the test reading tab where you set things up? This is broken.

The stop button doesn't work, otherwise a good solid TTS reader

Love this. Few tips I'd like to see. More control on the page it's reading and ability to read larger portions. I am a full time student using the extension to read my online materials to me as I take notes. I can't pause it and when I try it removes huge quantities of what I am trying to read. A full play dashboard (play, RW, FF, Pause, etc) would be very helpful. If it can automatically detect the highlighted text and read with keyboard commands, it doesn't seem like a stretch to add the ability to use on screen dashboard instead of control+shift+s to control it. The little circle thing is confusing and I don't understand it. LOVE the voice. It's easier to listen to the smooth sounding Aussie and UK English than it is to listen to a computerized voice. So over-all....WONDERFUL! GOOD JOB! But better, more user friendly control and a more comprehensive way to know what is being read and when I will need to restart the highlighting. I really love this. Life saver. 5 PSYC courses this semester, most totally online with a few chapters of reading PER WEEK. This will save me so much struggle! Thank You!
