User reviews

I just need a simple pronunciation tool. This tool requires the word to be in their dictionary, which can be frustrating if you wanted to select a sentence to read, or a complex word.

Very useful for me while I learning French when there is a need to check a transcription or natural pronounce of some word. Thank you very much! Small suggestion: It would be good to have an item in the selection context menu which behaves similarly to extension button. And an optional popping-up "bubble-button" would be just great! :)
