Bruno B. 2022-12-18: la voce in italiano non compare nella tendina... lasciamo perdere prima di iniziare
Darshak 2022-10-07: Why would you focibly change my default search engine? And that too without my consent. People should sue you. Your purpose should be to just TTS and you are doing such a thing in background. When disabling and enabling this extension it again sets its own search engine as default which is both annoying and unacceptable. I am removing this extension rightaway.

Bianca F 2021-06-06: Well first, what every one is saying about the tabs is true. But more importantly it can't read a paragraph to me with out stoping, mid sentence too. Its very annoying, I'm going to look for something else.

Christopher Cole 2021-05-06: *** BEWARE - THIS IS WILL HIJACK YOUR BROWSER *** Uninstalled and reported for bad privacy practices. Long time user, but there is no way I will install this on my computer again. Browser hijacking is a form of unwanted software that modifies a web browser's settings without a user's permission, to inject unwanted advertising into the user's browser. A browser hijacker may replace the existing home page, error page, or search engine with its own. - Wikipedia : Browser Hijacking (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_hijacking) Stay away from this extension because it will change your search engine to coolsearch. There are plenty of alternatives for text to speech in 2021 - just search the store for a better extension that will not hijack your browser.

Ruben Ruiz 2021-04-30: Vine a quejarme aqui en comentarios que cambio la voz y no me da la opcion de ponerle la voz anterior que me agradaba más, ademas de que se corta el dictado a la mitad del texto, entro aqui y me doy cuenta que a los demas tambien les roba informacion usando el buscador, me imagino: coolsearch.net y yo que queria recomendar esta extensión...

Amol Bhangare 2020-10-16: forced override to change default search engine spoiled it. Greed isn't good
Ross Davis 2020-10-16: Was great but now you must change your default search engine from Google. I want my Google, so it's gotta go!

Caleb Ferguson 2020-10-10: It functions great! But what ruins it is that it is forcing me to use a search engine I don't want.

Asociación de Afectados HeroQuest 25 Aniversario 2020-09-30: ES COMO VENDER TU ALMA AL DIABLO. Ahora si quieres usar la app que antes era más libre, tendrás que dejar que te secuestren el navegador y tengas que usar su buscador. Nos quejamos de google, pero por lo menos es una sola empresa grande y conocida. Esta es otra gente que te obliga a usar el suyo.
Afshin Faridjoo 2020-09-30: This was good for a while but they pulled a fast one and started changing your browser search engine. That wasn't cool at all..

Miguel Martín 2020-09-30: Lo han cambiado, y ahora te obliga a usar otro buscador. No se si es un virus. Al desinstalar el speakit se acaba el problema y te deja volver a usar tu buscador. Lo han cambiado de golpe. La aplicación buena era la antigua que le pagabas lo que quisieses y te daba el servicio. Esta pagas dándole tus datos de uso e incluso más datos como te descuides,
Liam Friesen 2020-09-30: Update: a couple of days later, this deceitful little program disables itself and now "requires" permission to _set my search engine_ to "coolsearch.net". The extension refuses to work until such permission is granted. Wow. This is practically malware. 1 Star is too many. Original review: -------------- Excellent little program for quick one-word pronunciation checking (which is what I personally use it for). One notable glitch is that regardless of whether the Male or Female voice is selected in the menu, the voice is always male. I do appreciate that the extension rarely (so far, never) requests any access to my website information, as that access is not required to speak a highlighted word. I applaud software design that only requests the minimum permissions required to function.

MaraL D. yW 2020-09-29: Ahora me obliga a usar su buscador. Aparece sombreado el selector de buscadores y no me deja cambiar la configuración. ¿Es un virus?
Marcelo de Gois 2020-09-29: Era ótimo, agora exige que altermos o buscador ao invés do Google. Ficou muito ruim.
Manni 2020-09-29: The extension was working fine, been using it for a year with no problem, very happy. However, IDK if others are experiencing the same issue, but all of the sudden, the extension is prompting me to change the search engine to coolsearch.net . I feel like this extension has been compromised.

zap 2020-09-29: Do not get this extension it will switch your default browser to Bing. Other than that would be a great extension but had to uninstall because of Bing.
