I love Kurzweil 3000 but there some things it needs work on. Certain words or phrases such as $500 billion, M1, and so on. Doesn't know how to pronounce "$500 billion", "$500" and "billion" are pronounced separately. When it's supposed to be pronounced as "$5,000,000,000". "M1" is pronounced as Milliliters, which supposed to pronounced as "M-one". I have an idea to the solution, then program would be worth it's value. How about there is scanner to read to the pdf's or site. So that way there's no flaws.

Seriously? I didn't download this on purpose. I hate this! All it does is get in the way of some things. And I can't even log in! It's not that I want to have something read out loud to me. I'm a fine reader on my own. And my Chromebook won't let me uninstall it. So now I'm just stuck with the login on the top of my screen and a weird green thing when I click somewhere. It's really annoying when I'm trying to work on my Google Docs story, and instead of my cursor I just see a green line with a ball on top. I wish I could delete this app because this really SUCKS.

This extension isn't perfect. But it definitely is effective. I rely on it a lot in school.

Functionality is practical not exceptional which I think is fine, the voice selection is great and speed and pacing control are great. The main thing that is frustrating is that I have to sign in to it ever time and relog in and reset my settings, since this is supposed to be a product that increases accessibility this is real problem. On the TTS front it was effective, but when I have to sign in and reset everything every time I end up doing that process 3-5 times a day.

Maybe instead of enabling remember credentials if it just remembered when you don't turn t off, I think that would be fine if the tab popup wasn't so large and intrusive when minimized.
