| 2024-12-24 |  | | en | finally something thats good |
| 2024-12-22 |  | | en | this is an amazing screen reader, the voice is clean (sometimes can be funky but it's not a big deal), and at first i was frustrated cus it wasn't reading but all i had to do was refresh the page (thanks Влад) this is one of the best that i have ever used and i'm thankful for it!! |
| 2024-10-24 |  | | en | Honestly the best text to speech I've been able to find, it can be buggy at times but compared to other text to speech extensions, its fully free and you don't have to export the text. I exclusively read on chrome just for this extension. |
| 2024-04-21 |  | | en | I'd love to give this 5 stars. But it's incredibly inconsistent. I use it on a specific website. Sometimes it works flawlessly. Sometimes it won't work at all. And once it stops working, it's frustrating trying to get it to work again. |
| 2024-03-15 |  | | en | It would be better if there is a floating button. The voice is still not very natural. It is recommended to add Edge's voice model. |

| 2024-01-21 |  | | en | Hit or miss. Works when it wants to. Seems like a free alternative to annoy you and forces you to pay or use another screen reader with ads. I really don't know how it got this rating, but if your a developer, i'm sure you could find a way to pump up your rating. |
| 2024-01-17 |  | | pt | Não funcionou para mim. |
| 2024-01-07 |  | | en | well done. |
| 2023-12-21 |  | | en | It's been 5 min and I already regret adding it, don't wast time it has only robotic richard and linda voices for EN, in a terrible interface, this extension should be rated under 3 *** |
