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.
Easy to use. I really like line focus option. And its free.
