User reviews
Good pace and voice, but very often it will suddenly stop working.

loved the extension but didn't like how they weren't transparent about the AI voices and how those are not free to use, only for 5 minutes of reading. if you want more you have to pay. should make it clear to the user that they are using a trial of the voice
