Michael Wilday 2022-05-11 This extension would be way more useful for persons without hearing disabilities if there was an option in the menu to disable and enable the extensipn. My hope was to use this extension to read articles and PDF"s on web sites for my Graduate Studies. I will try working with it but I I think having a quick option to disable and enable the app would make it more useful to individuals.
Mountaha Boukallel 2022-05-07 Hard to turn on and off, causes more trouble.
KayNoel 2022-04-26 It worked for what I needed it to. It's a free extension that reads to you which was nice since I needed to go over my study guides one more time before a test but I was exhausted from the day. It doesn't have an off function so when you're done you do have to uninstall it which is why I docked it one star. It was easy enough to use with google docs which was my intention for the app.
Zelian Zhu 2022-04-21 The interaction mode is bad and the speed of reading aloud is too fast. I have to uninstall it.
Charity Jantzen 2022-03-28 When I first downloaded this extension about 5 months ago it was helpful. It didn't read the entire page but it read about 70%. You have to click on everything that you want read, which for someone who is visually impaired or blind this extension would be useless for them. About 2 months ago the extension I guess had an update and NOW IT CRASHES CHROME EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU TURN IT ON AND HAVE IT READ ONE WORD. IT'S GARBAGE! DON'T WASTE YOUR KB SPACE.
