| 2025-01-05 |  | | en | A nice little extension from the community. Agree the price should be lower, but I appreciate the hustle, Seb! |
| 2024-12-01 |  | | en | There is a problem that I cannot use when I put the IP key. It gives me that the AIP key is invalid and I am creating the AIP key for elevenlabs and I am sure that it is correct and give all the permissions but it does not work. |
| 2024-11-09 |  | | en | Use piper, or other.... want something free... use the elevenlabs reader app on mobile (it doesn't use your API key...) this i don't see the value in the app i am giving it a 1 star because you didn't figure out an option for free tts.... |
| 2024-10-18 |  | | en | For some reason, it doesn't work on certain sites. For example, when I try to get it to read any section of this article (https://darioamodei.com/machines-of-loving-grace), the play button just spins forever. Also, the built-in keyboard shortcut to get it to read selected text is 'Ctrl-h', which is ALSO the History shortcut in Chrome. Why would they choose a shortcut that is already in use for the very browser this extension is made for? Poorly planned, and buggy. |
| 2024-10-14 |  | | en | thanks for this grateful extension , it helps me a lot. |
| 2024-10-11 |  | | en | I tried this extension as I am a big fan of ElevenLabs' automated voices. For my use case this extension is completely unviable. As I have dyslexia I rely on screen readers to understand the text I'm reading. The pricing of this solution seems to be aimed at content creators producing videos and other exported assets. It costs $99 for 10 hours of audio - so this would cost me more than $1000 a month - hence my 1 star review. The pricing model for this extension needs to be lower than general pricing which is aimed at exports. If you adjust your pricing for this extension, please let me know I will revise my rating. Thanks, |
| 2024-10-02 |  | | en | Seems to be working great, thanks! |
| 2024-09-27 |  | | en | Extension not working, no play button showing, shortcut (ctrl+h) not working. The website is also not every helpful with errors. |
| 2024-09-06 |  | | en | Hey this is great! Adding keyboard shortcuts would be fantastic :) |
