User reviews for Readwell Screen Reader reveal mixed experiences. Many praise its customizable reading tools, ad-free design, and productivity benefits, making reading web pages more comfortable and efficient. However, multiple users express frustration that it does not function as a true screen reader or provide text-to-speech capabilities, which limits accessibility for those needing voice reading. The extension also struggles with reading selected text in Google Docs and has UI distractions such as a persistent banner. Overall, while useful for reading enhancement, it falls short of expectations as a screen reader. Pros

- Serves as a good alternative to other similar reader extensions.
- Well-organized, ad-free, and efficient for browsing and reading.

Cons
- Does not function as a screen reader or text-to-speech (TTS) solution, failing to read text aloud as some users expect.
- Lacks inbuilt TTS support, causing frustration for users needing voice reading features.
- Fails to read selected text in Google Docs or other applications in some cases.
- Some parts of the UI, like the light orange banner on top, can be distracting during reading.
- Occasional lag when handling large tasks.
