Really amazing tool, no hidden fees. However it doesn't work at all on PDFs and that seems to unfortunately be where most of my reading is for school.

it might just be me or might have been mentioned but if you use the widget while reading a page you need to spam the "previous chapter" button in order to have it repeat what it just said if the paragraph has a line break after it. honestly didn't read more than the front page of reviews but yeah otherwise its a great app thank you
