Works very well with the articles I wanted to read aloud. The voices are only American English and a little robotic, and sometimes pronounce words strangely, but very understandable and you stop noticing after a few minutes.

Very good once you get used to the interface.

Very helpful! Robot voice, though...

Good!

Thank you. Great service. Some words that the voice pronounces need to be refined, but everything is good.

Simple and free.

I like having the read aloud feature since I'm mostly using it for school. My only gripe is that the voice doesn't read fast enough to keep my attention, even on the fastest setting. Other than that it's great!

Every time you want to listen to text, this extension opens a new tab, makes you read through a lorem ipsum paragraph, and then requires you to complete a captcha—just to get it working. It's more hassle than it's worth.

Excellent

I'm a college student who struggles reading all day long and this application really helps me stay focused as it reads with me my assignments. It also helps me speed up the process for sure

good app, simple, functions well and easy to use

For things like PDFs it doesn't read, so I have to manually copy the text over which I can do by highlighting and copying, its strange how it works

Excellent, no nonsense and just what I was looking for.

Solid enough, reliable, unobtrusive as well. I'm happy.

Overall a great app, but I wish the voices were better. They have a lot to choose from so it's most likely I haven't found the best one.

nice i like

Anonymous 2025-09-24

Thank you. It works and has exceeded my expectations. I do wish to see your efforts grow in allowing the user to add notations, and if there is that feature, I apologize for not seeing it sooner.

the worst TTS voice I have tried. Please it is already 2025. A voice even worse than Google Translate is unacceptable.

Anonymous 2025-09-22

First day using it and I’m impressed! I’m incorporating it into my health journey — it makes reading research papers and PDFs so much easier while walking on the treadmill at my standing desk. It helps reduce eye strain.

The best reader extension I've found and I've tried several. The transcription pops up on the same page so it's not getting lost in all the tabs.

Anonymous 2025-09-09

It's not top notch but it does the job. I just need to hear the text read to me. I don't need anything fancy.

Something went wrong. This page cannot be read because it may be a Chrome system page or the content script is not loaded.

i like it, works well enough, use this one over other for the larger library of free voices, specifically the google ones, one thing i don't like is the "read this page" doesn't work on CompTIA properly so i have to copy the entire page and input manually.

Anonymous 2025-08-24

works great not the best but the best since its free to use. using google's more advanced voices works much better than the robotic legacy TTS voices but it may require you to verify you are not a robot first lol

Easy, convenient and super responsive!!!

"Refresh And try again" Just make a working extension? Oh and if you go to a site that works it reads from top to bottom on the ENTIRE webpage with no highlights or anything. Literally the worst I've ever seen.

Anonymous 2025-08-20

Works well!

Anonymous 2025-08-19

So far so good. I am a slow reader so this really helps me, some of the voice are a little robotic but there are some that are better.

Best from what I've used It scrolls webpage and highlights Amazing and life saver Works well on pc

Seems like this doesn't work at all for some users, and this issue possibly started in the last few months. I haven't tried on other browsers, but I can say it doesn't work on Opera which is a chromium browser so it should work. I tried reinstalling and closing and opening the browser, but nothing happens when clicking on ra.
