User reviews
What are the steps to use the extension in chrome i have installed it but it is not working.
Not working in Windows 7, Chrome. The options button is disabled.
Excellent अति उत्तम बहु समीचीनम् ઉત્તમ ಅತ್ಯುತ್ತಮ சிறந்தது ਸ਼ਾਨਦਾਰ
This is one of the best plugins in text to speech category. Especially for Indian languages it is a great boon. And also for people who are visually disabled and cannot read, this is a great blessing. I don't understand why someone would give it less than 4 stars at least.
I wish the development team great success and hope they will add more features to this in future. Some features that I would like to see are,
1. Selective reading - Ability to just select a particular portion of text and get it read by the plugin
2. Reading ability for Malayalam, Punjabi and Bengali languages
Thanks and kudos to the team !
