This went from a 5 star to a 1 star review because of one simple thing. It now ONLY uses Google TTS. It stopped using my own TTS. I use Ivona 2 Amy (british female). It was working perfectly not to long ago, and I gave them time to fix the issue but it appears the dev has no intention of fixing it and is ok with the cheap robotic google voices.

absolute nightmare.

you can tell it to start reading from a new location after it has already started reading.

shortcut hotkeys don't work at all.

there is no shortcut for speed adjust.

it doesn't tell you what voice it's reading with when it's on auto select.

if you press previous, and there is no data loaded in its memory, it'll stop playing. this means you cannot go back farther than the current page. what garbage.

so many other problems that are basic obvious UX design flaws.

How does this have 4 stars? How does anyone use this without tearing their hair out?
If you only ever need to read from beginning to end then i suppose this gets 5 stars.

terrible voice. sounds like stephen hawking

unfortunately even middle eastern folk-music sounds better than the machine readers voice

It never worked from the get go. It has permission issues, even when granting the requested permissions.

used this extension on Chrome and it worked on the browser excellently! after switching to Firefox i had high hopes for it again but nope, can't have that.

the options to skip/move within the text are buggy and after trying to move around, the reader freaks out completely. repeats paragraphs twice and even after closing the tab, the text keeps going. the only way i got the add-on to shut off was uninstalling. :(

Compared to the last read aloud i used of Microsoft edge i am totally disgruntled spacially by the fact that there is no option even to decide the speed, in the very first try it highlighted something else.

It does nothing! It only shows an error report: "obj is null" and "master is null".
Great flop!

only free for a few uses. After that it stops performing and requires you to pay $4-$16. Waste of time. Will look at other apps that are actually free.

Mala calidad del audio incluso cuando se utiliza las voces instaladas en el PC

This is weak. Poor sound in the Polish language version.

it works better in chrome but not in mozilla

No Context Menu.

The pauze button doesn't seem to have any effect at all, since I want to use this to study and pauze frequently to take notes this is very annyoing

I CANNOT even figure out how to use this program.
I wanted something that is compatible and easy to use for my child with Special Needs.
However, I installed it and was hoping to see some directions on how to use the program.
Removed it.
If it is too much drama for me, I do not want my child to have to experience this as well.
I tried the ALt T directions (only thing I can find) and it did not work.
Too Much Drama.

I tried to use it. When I started it, it started to read a page aloud very quickly and didn't stop until I went and uninstalled the extension. The stop button didn't work, and reloading the tab or even closing it entirely didn't stop it either. Needless to say that I'm unwilling to try again.

The voice is so annoying, and hard to understand, I cannot use it!

every other time I use this app, it tells me i do not have permission, and wont work.
