It works well when it's actually working. Sometimes when reading multiple paragraphs or even a single paragraph. Multiple lines get combined and are read in a jarring continued sentence. At the end of one sentence, the period is read out as dot, so I have issues parsing what's being said because the sentence continuance makes little sense. I tried using the pronunciation editor, but it fails often and so when coming across certain formatting, what's read isn't what I expect.
Pronunciation editor only works occasionally in fact.

There's a pause when coming across bold font, but at this point it's expected. What's not expected is hearing the pause every other word as the reader goes on the fritz and i have to restart Natural Reader, refresh the page, or restart Chrome entirely. All of these issues occur with free and premium voices which makes me not even consider purchasing this product yet alone stickling with the free version. I have to look elsewhere. Too bad, because being able to highlight certain lines and select read in place is very useful. When it works, it works well, but it barely works.

The paid version may sound good and the user experience and interaction was ok compared to other apps that have more features without being premium I wouldn't buy this. Mainly because the free voices sound robotic and do not have integration with Google Standard voices.
