Latest reviews
- (2021-12-30) Darius Grant: It was great while it worked. Then boom: "log in to use" (I was logged in) and later after relaunching/removing and getting it back again: "whoops (lmao emoji) we couldn't convert it for you".
- (2021-12-11) Jialei Duan: buggy, keep logging me out
- (2021-11-17) cruukz one: This is the Best Extension i ever found in the Chrome Web Store, thank you so much!
- (2021-10-21) Epic Epic: Whenever I Try To Sign In Then It Gives Me The Unsupported Browser Error And I'm Using The Newest Version Of Microsoft Edge
- (2021-08-31) Kat Peña: I am loving it so far! Keep up the good work. Hoping to have more upgrade!
- (2021-08-19) Marc Bee: Who would want a separate podcast PER article?! That's not a podcast, that's an audio file!
- (2021-07-29) Swastik Patel: IT'S REALLY helpful
- (2021-05-17) kyran Lalala: Some how dosn not work for me. Also can not sign up using Google but fine with facebook. But did not really work on most pages it would be great if the user can past the text in or upload a file.
- (2021-05-09) procopis christofi: I love the aesthetic, but it only supports english, i have found other extenstions that looks significally worse but support all languages
- (2021-04-20) Ghukas Stepanyan: Amazing product! Highly recommended!
- (2021-03-21) A Capinding: This extension is useful but... would be cooler if they add it on firefox
- (2021-03-18) emarli: Really good for some pages, just wish it would read pdfs! Then it would be amazing for educational purposes.
- (2021-03-10) Laura Davila: Really like it for when I can't focus on reading. Would love a 1.25X speed since 1.5X can be too fast and normal speed is too slow for me. Also if I could skip like 15s at a time since sometimes in the articles I read there's table sthat I donÂŽt want to be read to me.
- (2021-02-28) Laura Marie: I find this extension very useful and use it often for school! It's definitely the best thing out there for converting articles so I can easily listen/learn while I do other things. It does have some downsides though. 1) It does not convert pdf files. 2) It doesn't have enough options for playback speed. I wish I could adjust it to 1.25 or 1.35. 3) I wish it didn't read all of the in-text citations within scientific articles out loud.
- (2021-02-26) Praveen Rajanna: This Helped me a lot...... From now on i can do listen to the podcast and Do my work at a time.... ! Thanks a lot guys.....
- (2021-02-22) Benji Visser: It doesn't seem to work on most pages I try.
- (2021-02-21) nanna Beuschau: Can only understand english, and dont work on anything else than articles online. I does not work in docs, or files. But it was a good idea, if you have english articles only.
- (2021-02-18) Ozen channel: Briliant app!
- (2021-02-17) Boris Adamyan: Thank you !!!
- (2021-02-17) Armen Mkhitaryan: Love it
- (2021-02-04) Christian AarĂłn Samperio: Esta increible la extension solo falta que agreguen frances porque no existe y lo pone en ingles, arreglen ese detalle y agreguen frances de Francia, sin mas gracias, esperare para que la agreguen.
- (2021-01-25) Kris: Very useful!
- (2021-01-09) Aharon Smbatyan: The quality of voice is impressive.
- (2020-12-23) Good ole Toast: I love this extension but it's not letting switch to a different podcast even if I exit out of that specific page. Overall, this thing is very helpful.
- (2020-12-06) Alber: Please, add the option of pasting the text in the extension or add a contextual menu option for the selected text for the occasions that the extension just says "Whoops! đ€We werenât able to convert this page for you." By the way, that emoji there is totally inappropriate. One start less for the f***ing emoji that laughs at you when the extension does not work. (It didn't work for reading me the a Gmail mail)
- (2020-12-02) Ender- Requiem03: OMG this thing is Amazing!!! Very Easy To Use, Clear Voice, and helps me study multiple subjects at a time... Thx so much creators
- (2020-12-01) ais: I think it's down? The website says the server is down and my extension wouldn't convert any article. I can't play the existing podcast and I can't check my history too.
- (2020-12-01) selene mendez: Lo acabo de descargar y no me deja usarlo. Me da Error y tampoco te deja remitir el fallo para que puedan solucionarlo. Como idea es genial, pero al no funcionar...
- (2020-11-27) Dean R. Kern: Sehr gut! Ich bin begeistert von der SprachqualitÀt!
- (2020-11-27) Vanshika Sahni: best best best !! extension ever
- (2020-11-24) Michael Gonzalez: This is a such a great idea. Sometimes, I can get a little tired and have a hard time reading an article but listening to them like podcasts is so useful.
- (2020-11-21) Brianna Levy: This extension was AMAZING for the first couple of weeks. The visual layout was sleek and mostly convenient (much better than other text-to-speech extensions that brought you to another website to do the conversion). Plus the green, black, and white color scheme is nice and I appreciate the voice and speed customization options. This would honestly get 5 stars if it didn't completely stop working this week. Please see to it that this issue gets fixed. I will miss this Chrome extension, but I obviously can't keep something that doesn't work. Overall: great design, just focus on app longevity and don't download if you want something that works longer than a few weeks.
- (2020-11-19) Ibrahim Khalil: The extension is good but there should be an option for British English narration. Please add this option to make it more useful for UK users.
- (2020-11-18) Jaeden Tai: we can convert our text to mp3 for free but the only things i dont like is we need to login to this service i hav tried a few times to login but i failed to login
- (2020-11-05) Anand Arokianathan: Awesome software and voice only feature that is missing is to convert selected text rather than the whole page and a button to skip 10 seconds or a line
- (2020-11-02) Melissa Walker: I really wanted this to work. I am an auditory learner and hoped this would help my comprehension with scholarly articles and such. I HAVE YET to find an article it can read. Each and every article I have tried to use the extension with has been met with the "whoops, we weren't able to convert this page for you." So disappointing.
- (2020-10-24) Gabriel Mateo: Currently having errors of downloading? It won't download the podcast that I want, is it too long or something?
- (2020-10-14) Peter Beaumont: Does a good job of converting the article to audio, without converting the rest of the page furniture. A bit disapointed that it doesn't create a podcast though; it would be useful to be able to subscribe to an RSS feed to easily download the recordings for offline access later. Audio files can be downloaded individually though. Doesn't convert PDFs yet, but works well with web pages.
- (2020-10-13) Brian Roach: Love it! Only issue is the crackling sound it makes when starting to speak again after each sentence. The system detects the audio is stopped, but then it starts abruptly and causes some unpleasant crackling sound. Does this for me with both voices on Mac. Otherwise, it's incredible and I highly recommend it!
- (2020-10-07) Mario Medina: Maravillosa extension para convertir en audio el texto de determinada pagina, Le doy 5 estrellas porque solo falta el idioma español de América. Pero el español que tiene (de España) es una voz muy natural. No es tan robótica como otras,
- (2020-10-05) Mohammad S. Bataineh: Please add google docs. Blind people will appreciate that so much
- (2020-09-26) Morten Friis: Absolutely brilliant extension. I just wish the was an accompanying android app so I could cue up articles on my computer and then listen to them on my commute (right now I'm using Pocket for this). Also, being able to set speed to x1.25 would be amazing. x1.5 is too fast for my liking and x1 is a little too slow (though preferable to x1.5).
- (2020-09-25) Lecoin Names: I love it when it's free and also helps me focus.
- (2020-09-14) Makayla Holz: I found it very helpful, however I am having trouble with trying to start up a new podcast... It wont let me just reset instantly... Any ideas how to fix? Thank you!
- (2020-09-13) Amir Baer: Cool plugin, works well except when downloading the mp3 file For some reason the audio gets truncated after about 4 minutes
- (2020-09-07) gmapub: Alors oui la voix est claire, nette et réaliste, mais l'app traduit tout en anglais. Elle ne lit pas les articles en français elle les traduit en anglais ... dommage !
- (2020-08-30) sebastian morales: Excelent! it would be even more amazing if you add more human alike voices in spanish! thank you so mucho for this app
- (2020-08-28) Ethyn: it didnt work for me because it doesnt do every article ig.
- (2020-08-25) mollywillo: For every page I try it says it doesn't work for that website...
- (2020-08-20) Aksel Piran: La voix est extrĂȘmement rĂ©aliste, c'est une de logiciels gĂ©niaux qui deviendront indispensables pour tous, je pense
