I’m disabled, and need help to read. I'll just cut to the chase, I'll be reviewing facts not opinions. FYI, I can only understand English. Is it actually free: Yes Does it work?: Yes What the voices like: Basic Microsoft and Google selection Other Languages: Yes Control over the voice (Pitch, Speed, Ect?): With sliders you are able to control the pitch and speed which the document is read. Can I pause: No, but when highlighted the text will read. No left click needed _Can it read_ Google docs: No Wikipedia: Yes Gmail: Yes AO3: Yes Is it as Advertised: Yes, everything that is provided in the description is true. All the different functions are there and accounted for Along with the ability to toggle anything on and off. Why the stars? Everything that involves the text to speech program works as expected. The adjustments are well done, the selecting system is spot on. The interface is charming and simple and the letters are clear and concise to read. (How to fix) My recommendation: I'm unaware if this is a bug, When a tint is applied the webpage couldn’t be interacted with anymore.
