(2023-09-18) Gladys Otero Santamarina: I highlighted a three line parragraph and it only converted to speech a single sentence. It even stopped after finishing it. Tried highlighting other pieces of text but the same happened. Very cool idea and nice speech voice, but this issue makes it unusable.
(2023-06-12) Suzi Y: This is what I was looking for. Highlight and read. THANK YOU!
(2023-05-25) Jared Van de Ligt: this extension is handy someone sent me a website that had a lot of reading to do, i used speak it and listened to speak it read the website was way better to have it read it to me then read it myself, i did not feel like reading the whole article, so it was nice to have speak it read it to me

(2023-02-22) RJ Smith: One of the worst ones ever created. when it dose work. 1 out of 99% of the time it good. But for the 99% of the time it fails or it read or reads everything like this. The plus plus of the plus plus is plus plus plus plus plus plus and so the plus plus is plus plus and plus plus plus plus plus plus......... What a useless thing someone has created. It could not even read this post. Do not bother wasting your time in using this.
(2023-02-01) Bobak Tadjalli: After I installed the extension, it redirected me to its settings page and the point that made me to put 1-star raring is that it was only using my computer's TTS (Windows 10 Pro) and not more as shown in the screenshots.
(2023-01-04) Wouter k: Keeps rerouting me to a blocked address of sketchboy.com
(2022-12-17) Murphian: can not use
(2022-11-07) Deisire Nagorski: Tem que melhorar muito, num dia funciona no outro não, não identifica o inglês no meio do português, não faz as pontuações direito e já tem tecnologia para identificar melhor as palavras hoje em dia. Aprendam com o @voice.
(2022-05-03) Sorban: Il fonctionne mais seulement pour une petite phrase de 3 ligne puis il s'arrête d'un coup. Je ne vais pas rechercher tout les 3 ligne pour qu'elle parle le texte entier !
(2021-11-03) Csaba: Jobb mint a Multivox !
(2021-10-18) Boris Enríquez: excelente
(2021-09-25) Sergey Silchenko (check32): Speakit! v0.2.92 был хорош, затем всё хуже и хуже. Убрали поддержку сторонних голосов вообще напрасно. Раньше хоть в 32bit-ной версии нормальные движки поддерживались Теперь стало совсем плохо. Снесу наверное. Буду искать что-то другое.
(2021-08-24) arm mokh: it's awesome you can change voice in extention option. you can add keyboard shortcut in chrome://extensions/shortcuts for it then just highlight words and then press your keyboard shortcut then extension will read it
(2021-07-24) Gerardo DZ: Desearia que tuviera mas voces, pero en general me encanta, me ha facilitado la vida, y adoro poder tenerlo
(2021-07-23) Chonita Foster: i love it but hate the fact that it constantly stops. Why is it doing this i have to constantly uninstall and reinstall it. Its really becoming annoying
(2021-06-02) Alexander Nikitin: Пытаюсь пользоваться этим расширением много лет. Но постоянные глюки. Хочет читает, хочет нет. Постоянно слетают настройки. Как можно быть таким криворуким? Кофе упился разработчик что-ли?
(2021-04-15) Negrean Sergiu Aurelian: liar. not romanian!
(2021-04-10) Red Green: Читает половину предложения, замолкает и всё.

(2021-03-03) Matthew Bowles: This has been a nice extension until last night. The Google UK English Male voice was very clear and had high quality, but ever since last night, this voice has been very unclear and has low quality. I liked it when it was clear with high quality. A lot of the other voices which used to have high quality now have low quality too.
(2021-02-19) Aadam Chohan: Worst function ever i downloaded it and it reads as and it and does not read the entire text it will stop whenever it wants to and decide not to read.
(2021-01-08) Gustavo Doná: Awesome!
(2020-11-24) Oleg stranger: Спасибо! Очень полезное приложение! У меня на ПК был установлен синтезатор речи от RHVoice с голосами, выбрал голос Anna и пока всё супер, как на ЯБ.

(2017-02-18) Miles Menuck: Phenominal reader, easy to use, FREE! I'd Recommend getting another voice from IVONA or Neospeech, or another source.
(2017-02-18) Vampir: Очень полезное приложение
(2017-02-17) Моя ВЕРА: И что это приложение делает? Читает когда ему вздумается. Из 20 текстов может прочитать один, в лучшем случае. Оценка одна- фуфло!!!!

(2017-02-11) phly95 :: I would like it if the google voices didn't stop, but fortunately, iSpeech seems to work pretty well, despite some flaws avoided by the google TTS. (like iSpeech not handling certain types of apostraphes properly)
(2017-02-11) Константин Мельников: Спасибо! Пользуюсь им уже года 3

(2021-11-12, v:0.4) Сергей Дюмин: A good extension has died
Until today, the extension worked fine, I would even put a 5 plus. But today reading is carried out only for the first 216 characters – why? Besides, the voice has changed. Until today, a pleasant and clear voice pronounced text of any size. Who is to blame that everything went wrong today? Maybe Google is freaking out? If so, then I will have to look for another extension, because I need to listen to texts for work. Is it possible to fix the problem, because I really like the old extension? Question from Russia (translated from Russian to English by Yandex translator). Thanks for attention.

Hello, I downloaded Speakit for Chrome but it doesn't seem to operate. When I highlight text and click the icon it says "Buy me a coffee". I did that through Paypal and received a payment confirmation. Is there another step?

(2021-03-19, v:0.4) Connie Fox: Read the whole page
Is there a way to just have it read the whole page without having to highlight the text? Thanks!
(2021-02-13, v:0.4) Andi Munn: cut out
I have been using this app for about 2 months now. I enjoy the fact that it sounds much more human like than most other apps that I have used. But the down fall is the constant cutting out or stopping after about 30-50 words. Its very difficult to maintain focus with the speaking if it continuous stops in the middle of the highlighted section. Please I hope that this issue can be resolved quickly as other users have stated the same issue repeatedly and nothing still has changed.
(2021-02-02, v:0.4) Cesar Hui±api Peralta: problema
Apenas puede leer 34 palabras como máximo, no me sirve
(2020-12-11, v:0.4) Christian de Bellefeuille: Shortcuts not working
Apparently, the shrotcuts that we define in SpeakIt doesn't work. I've seen this on Chrome, and now i'm trying Edge, and the problem is there too. It's a serious turn off... i like this application a lot but having to Select the text, Then go in the upper-right corner to click the SpeakIt icon within a bunch of extenions is just time consuming.
(2020-11-08, v:0.4) Pawel Por: Shortcuts do not work
Hi, I like your app a lot. Though I found that with most recent version the shortcuts do not work. I use Windows 10 desktop fully updated. When I configure a shortcut e.g. ctrl+alt+f it does not work when a text to read is highlighted. It works well when I use "SpeakIt!" from a context menu on a selected text. It also fully works with one year old version of SpeakIt on the same machine. Best Regards,
(2020-06-07, v:0.4) Eleonora Gugliotta: aumentare la velocità di lettura
Visto che c'è una limitazione sul testo nella versione di lettura di google italiano, dare almeno la possibilità di velocizzare la voce originale "Speakit!". Spero di essere stata chiara....
(2017-02-22, v:0.2.997) Ram U: Voice breaks off
Randomly the Text To Speech stops after a few words. Not sure what the issue might be.

how to i change the voice
(2017-02-19, v:0.2.997) mauro gori: SpeakIt voce in italiano
La lettura in "native" legge tutte le frasi evidenziate mentre con la voce "Google Italiano" legge solo alcune parole poi non legge più.
(2017-02-14, v:0.2.997) Wretched Magus: You added an option to disable reading on some sites
But you didn't add an option to turn that option off. It is very annoying.
(2017-02-12, v:0.2.997) Neil Kenning: Highlight words as read
Hi, I like your app. Is there an option to show the words being read ie by highlighting the words currently being TTS'd? Cheers N.
