This is a very good extension - highly configurable & works well in Chrome on Windows. I couldn't get it to work on Chrome on Android (could just be me) - but all in all excellent.

Thank you so much for this wonderful extension. A French friend of ours recently and suddendly lost her sight and is now completely blind. Bridge online, in the club and at national level was her life - she's in the top 7% of players in France. When I came across this extension I knew I could give her hope that she could continue to play bridge even though she is blind. Although she plays with an international group, English is something she needs to improve. But ... we have had 2 seesions with friends on BBO and, although she has some challenges, they were a great success and she is thrilled at the prospect that she can play bridge on BBO, despite the challenges she will face to do it without me as her assistant. Thank you again for giving our friend HOPE. It's going to be a long and difficult journey but now we know, the goal is achievable thanks to this extension.

Although I am not visually impaired I just love this extension - to be honest I have gotten a bit lazy and now also annoyed when playing at the club since no one is reading out my HCP and Losing Trick Count ;-) Dominique / dbx
