Good stuff
best extension I've used in a long time. works great too. no issues on my end.
Is it working rightnow? Last week I got it working all fine...now it stops at loading preview...thank you....
It's so easy to use, doesn't sound too robotic, has no limits in the number of characters, and no limited trials or anything like that. As a student, this greatly helps me with all of my reading materials. The AI isn't accurate at reading large numbers (like 44,500,000) and title abbreviations (like Atty.) however, so it's something you have to personally edit in your text if you want it without mistakes. Would still recommend this to other people.
It's a great extension! Thank you for letting us use it even if we choose not to pay/can't afford the premium version. I'd like to know if it's possible to update it in the future (if you have access to this feature/option) so that the voices place emphasis on the correct parts of words, as sometimes when using the extension, the voice places too much stress/intonation on certain words in a sentence, making the speech flow a little unnatural.
Thanks for this man! Been searching so long for an actual free ai tts
Ehhh, it does have potential so I gave it a positive 2 stars for effort however, unless I can highlight text, right click and play, it's useless to me. Let me know when if you ever get to that point. Keep it up.
I've been using this extension for a while now and everything works perfectly fine.
scam I already paid for the premium subscription 5 times in September, and you keep charging me money — this is nothing but a scam. Where should I send the proofs? Before trying to insult me, sort out your own payment method. It even says right here in the form that Google doesn’t review these comments. You can write whatever you want here, clowns. What is your contact email?
Please add a feature so the text is followed with the voice, so we dont have to scroll. And changing pitch of voice for downloading and listening would be perfection. Highlighting the read sentences would be beyond perfection! And a quick paste and read button within right click context menu! Thanks! edit: from 5 star to 1 start because there is a 2500 charcter limit! Are you kidding me!! even worst tts has 10k limit. uninstalled.
Literally perfect for reading, the subscription is reasonable and is not required but does offer helpful features.
Reliable extension that's better than Speechify and NaturalReader. Thank you for making this!
Great extension for if you can't sit through reading long homework assignments (I used it for Spanish hw, I'm fluent in it but very slow at reading). 10/10. Im so glad i found this in a reddit thread, I had been searching for like 30+ minutes for a free text to speech, and this was exactly what I needed. I also appreciate the no-character limit on the free version and the option for premium features, which I may end up getting later for school assignments. Thanks for this man! :)
So far, so good! No issues so far, and I love the voices. I also love that it's not expensive. I would definitely recommend it.
This was a great program, when free. I understand asking for 5.00 a month but after giving it to us for free it feels wrong. I can completely understand if you gave us the option to pay 5.00 for a premium subscription with extra features but to start charging for something that was originally free just doesn't make senses. You said in a previous comment " I have been spent hours (months even) on this project and kept it free. Due to my personal situation, I wanted to get support" You spending hours to do something is a choice you made. And out of the "kindness" of your heart you gave a great program. Now your "kindness" has been effected and the "money" is getting to you. You also said " If u want the entire extension, you can always just take a few weeks/months to code up a similar extension" That is a rude comment to make to that reviewer. You should treat people better. When people see you behaving this way they will not support you or download your product for that matter.
i like it so far i use the voice maple, i would prefer more voices like elven reader especially better Australian or English accent ones because i like those accents and i would prefer a voice similar to maple or Arabella, i also think the British accent voice u have already is pretty bad and sounds similar to someone giving announcements through a speaker at an airport (its probably deterring british customers that are bad at understanding american english so i would add another british more natural sounding voice similar to maples pitch or arabellas)
Incredible...for a measly 5 dollars, you get something as good as amazon Polly. Beautiful job with the extension and i hope it finds success because this is a life saver. Had to do a bunch of courses and i put them all in audio so i could listen to them while travelling and its marvelous. excellent job, cant say enough good things about it.
Hello democratic developer. How do we make payment ???? I am from India - this Cash app is not working here, and when I tried to use my card, it says Such purchase is not allowed on your card ? your work is great in tts, but keep the download free or make payment for pro easy ? I am stuck !!!!!!!!!!!!! give me a way out buddy, i have shared u my email in feedback. get back to me on it asap. its urgent.
I used it over 2 days, and was about to share it to my community but then it slapped me with a pro subscription. It suddenly removed the voice I used to use for free and wants me to subscribe for a pro version. Removed the extension immediately.
A little glitchy and needs a lot more options for customization, but has a lot of potential. Good extension.
Wow, awesome!! Thank you very much for that.
My it last.
This is easily of, if not, the most extensions I've ever used. Will 100% be instrumental in me getting through my college readings.
greate extention
The creator is the GOAT, every day fixing errors etc.. Great extension to be honest.
One of the Top 10 Best Extensions on Chrome!
the only good free tts i've found
Nothing to not like, great tool and voice is natural sounding!
Why this is so underrated,, the best extension i have get ever so far
Better than ElevenLabs and you save $20/month.
Really good! Can you make the prompt customizable and make the chat start in the current session you're in?
I love this so much thank you!!!!!
I really hope you don't become greedy and put a huge paywall behind this and make it affordable for the average person. Thank you so much for keeping it free for now :) Who needs Elevenlabs when this exists
Excellent!
help me alot for study and reading! Bless you to make this so accessible
Absolutely SAVED me from some boring studying sessions, after many searches this tool was exactly what I needed, turning my notes into a podcast.
lovveeee ittt!!!!!
You know what? This is brilliant, no paywalls, no freemium, no corporate greed, just an amazing tool! Thanks and much respect my brother!
What a DIME PIECE ext this is! kudos my friend.
works GREAT! thank you very much!
very very useful i hope chatgpt do not take down this very useful extension
Please integrate this function into the right-click menu so that it can be used anywhere!
Very good extension! Please add feauture to save audio as mp3, it could be really great! edit: Downloading feauture is here, it works like a charm! Thank you so much, Dev!
wow super work buddy! You are legend.
Great tool!
This new feature of downloading audio is perfect. Nice work!
Edit : 05 March 2025, I want to commend the Developer for his dedication in making sure that everyone using this is satisfied. Indeed he reach out to me repeatedly but the issue is fixed now. In my case, it turns out that I had to make sure that I was logged into chat GPT before it worked. Although clicking the icon does not redirect me as like in the video but it works when I am on Chat GPT's website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As of Feb 27 2025, This doesn't not work for me. I saw the comment in Marcelo Hernandez and I did as the developer suggested. It doesn't work still. If I can get a solution to this problem. I will change the review accordingly. It's worth noting that the Icon is greyed out in my extension bar Thanks
GPT Reader is a free AI text-to-speech extension that converts text into natural, human-like audio with customizable playback options.
it works flawlessly, very nice work
It works and it's great.
