- (2025-06-17) Gmail Secure: As someone who is dyslexic and who is paradoxically writing a book about the causes of neurodevelopmental disorders I find Read to Me indispensable, to my daily routine particularly reading scientific research papers.
- (2025-06-17) boot Jack: good
- (2025-05-27) Behzad: I used it for scientific articles and it did fairly well. Especially no word limit surprise and no asking for $150 annual subscription to hear your article in a rapper voice. I removed 5 others I installed and kept this one!
- (2025-05-27) Calvin Geeringh: Elegant and simple. makes it so easy to interact with and listen to a document. The "highlight text" as you read/listen feature is awesome, and you can jump up and down lines and speed up the voice (multiple options) and active developer. Its best in class and Im very glad I found such a polished TTS extension :-) Thank you for the hard work!
- (2025-05-15) Predasus: Fantastic and not full of garbage. <3 Thank you for making something that makes sense in a world full of trash.
- (2025-05-04) Ema Stan: I really like this extension, you guys have done a wonderful job, but maybe you could add each word highlighted individually? For me and other people my brain is more in focus when each word is being highlighted than the whole sentence, still very good job, but if it could be something to be added in the future.. would be great! Thanks a lot (in case you read this!)
- (2025-05-03) Heidi: One time fee worked well for me and it reads right from the site.

- (2025-03-16) Erika Brown: I was suprised how realistic the voice is. It sounds like the premium voices on the paid voice readers. But its FREE. I recommend. This was a needle in a haystack and I am glad I found it out of all the other voice readers that say free but make you pay.
- (2025-03-06) Oracle Speaks: I have been looking for a simple free text to speech/voice extension for a year, I have tried over a dozen and "Read to Me" was an immediate winner! Good sounding voice and 2X speed which mimics a human reading better than the rest.

- (2025-02-24) Sh Ah: Working good so far, just used it once. Will come back to update. EDIT: Don't bother with this extension, I changed tabs to read something and now it won't, it asks you to pay. This is a pay monthly extension, not free. Changing to 2 stars because it wasn't made clear that this would happen.
- (2025-02-16) Leo: ok
- (2025-02-09) Nataliia “Veselova”: The description states that the extension works in 52 languages. But it turned out that there is no Ukrainian language. Will have to delete.

Came back to edit this review: Could you please add a reset button into the window where it reads the words aloud, so it can be updated to real time.
