I purchased the premium version seeing the potential of the extension but the developer seems to have completely abandoned the project. At least the developer should let the buyers know that he is abandoning the project so that the users start looking elsewhere. Interestingly the developer has started other projects. Feel cheated!

This product looks dead but it still mostly works. No response from the developer and no updates in over a year. Shame I paid for it.

It is a useful plugin. I am using it very often. However, the text to speech feature does not work in chrome for MacOS. Could you please fix this?
