User reviews

Useful for long texts, but without the neural voices and no ability to download, it is hardly a replacement for the original extension. Good innovation with the queuing, though! I wish you two would put your heads together and make a new one that has full functionality and is more reliable. :-)

does not function, says API key is invalid, sad because the new feature set looks really useful
