• (2023-10-12) Misty D. Hudson: Had the extension downloaded for two hours. In that time, it worked twice. I ensured no other tabs or instances of Chrome were active. Surprisingly, it worked PERFECTLY on their own website. And I don't know who is narrating the video, but Pericles is pronounced peh-ruh-kleez. Not peh-ruh-culls. I mean, you even use a Grecian helmet as your logo. I would imagine you'd pronounce the name of the greatest Athenian politicians correctly. TL;DR -- Only works faithfully on the creator's website. Not worth your time.
• (2023-08-22) Zaine Noland: Doesn't work at all 0 out of 10
• (2023-07-05) Evan: Does not work. Got the error below when using it on a normal web page, Something went wrong! Refresh this page and try again or report bug.
• (2023-06-12) Marcio Maia: Didn't work for me. If crashes when it tries do read Google Docs and nothing happens
• (2023-06-02) Chyle Akiyama: This extension caused issues with Google Docs on the Brave Browser!
• (2023-05-24) Maciej: I have tried almost every TTS extension. This is simply the best!!! For me most important is maximum 2.5x speed, none of other extension have higher than 2.0x speed.
• (2023-05-17) Добрый Дроу Техномаг ПК: Глюк на глюке и глюком погоняет
• (2023-04-21) Eternally Bored: I absolutely hate this screen reader. It's not moving along from the main header of the pages I use it on. It just keeps repeating the same 3 or 4 lines. Telling it to skip does not make it move along, nothing I try can make it move to the actual body. Saving the pages as a PDF and uploading it makes everything unusable, I can't even read the words on the screen to follow along.
• (2023-04-18) Yask Shelat: This is great plugin, any plans to add more premium voices in french language?
• (2023-04-07) Davo Francis: Really great extension, for free. I noticed some unpatient people complaining in the reviews that it doesn't work. It didn't work for me at first either. Make sure the page you want it to read is setup and if it's not working then click on the extension -> click the cog wheel for settings -> click the ... -> reload app and then go to then try again. This worked for me. Nothing to complain about when it's a free extension that is very powerful and probably difficult to code. Thank you developer, you are a star
• (2023-03-31) Chris Vydas: "Something went wrong! Refresh this page and try again or report bug." Consider this my bug report.... Uninstalling
• (2023-03-24) Nathan Ruggles: Why would I used a text to speech reader when the overview video voice over doesn't even pronounce the name of your own extension correctly? ("Pear-ih-CULLS"???) If you can't bother with quality control over pronunciation in that why should I expect the screen reader to do a good job?
• (2023-02-02) Nathan Scherrer: This is the easiest to use, most versatile, and natural sounding free Reader I've found so far. 这是我目前为止发现的最方便使用、拥有最多功能、并且语音自然不生硬的 免费 Reader。
• (2023-01-13) Desert Tortoise 21: Works like a charm!
• (2022-12-19) Iliya Fiks: Не работает )))
• (2022-11-28) Daniel Rogers: Another waste of time - just doesn't work
• (2022-11-17) Jose E. Martins: Bad job. Using Google TTS voices causes the extension to stop working. I'll give this extension a 0 out of 10. Please fix it now.
• (2022-09-10) Nyx: Used to be fantastic but recently its been randomly stopping and generally breaking, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and can't seem to fix it
• (2022-08-08) Lilly D: Read so many good reviews about this extension. Unfortunately, the extension doesn't work on sites like Wattpad (www.wattpad.com) or Quotev (www.quotev.com). Would have loved to have e-books read to me. :(
• (2022-06-07) Samantha: Literally only read aloud the words of the Pericles website, not the pdf document I uploaded. Complete joke.
• (2022-06-02) Ray Boles: honestly best screen reader, i downloaded the other screen reader and it was awful just kept reading the url over and over. i needed to read a pdf book and was able to upload it no problem and loved the english male voice. sounds like i'm reading a harry potter book but its a school text book lol
• (2022-05-30) Sam Friedman: Great extension, fantastic dev. Upon encountering an issue with the extension, I reported the bug and received a response from the dev the next day. He quickly identified and solved my issue. Extension works great with lots of customization options.
• (2022-05-24) Tudor Cizmas: I think this extension is one of the best there is. Super easy to use and the developer is always fast at fixing whatever problems arise. Thanks you.
• (2022-05-23) Tonatiuh Moctezuma: NO SIRVE... Estas extensiones son las que debería eliminar google y no las que realmente funcionan.
• (2022-05-21) Ritik sharma07: It doesn't work on google play book website https://play.google.com/books edge browser reader working properly please solve this
• (2022-04-01) Stephen Yavorski: Great reader, but lately has been causing many websites to not function correctly. Drop down menus have started not working, for instance. This is only when I have Pericles installed that this happens. Will change to 5 stars, when this is fixed!
• (2022-03-17) pleading nut: i liked the older version better and i know alot of people like it this way so i dont want you to change it but can you send me the old code or a way to get the old version
• (2022-03-08) uchiha tashi: Best Text to Speech Screen Reader EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. LOVED IT. THANKS A LOT FOR MAKING IT FREE.
• (2022-03-05) Cindy or Don Pitcher: I cannot get this extension to work on my chromebook. When I press play, the extension responds with "Loading" then times out after a minute, then states "something went wrong".
• (2022-02-28) Libra Moon: hello! I love this extension while I'm confused about how to change the selected voice&language to another country/region. I've changed the user interface language of my system to English and used VPN to download it again but they didn't work. I am a non-native English speaker and want to learn the accent. Thank you!
• (2022-02-16) ッtia: 👍🏽
• (2022-02-16) Jack Hack: The easiest to use one.
• (2022-01-05) Ridwan Sastropawiro: this is what i'm looking for a long long time ago... thanks, developers! :)
• (2021-12-18) Dejan Ivkovic: only english...
• (2021-12-13) SayeMarg: I Love It 😍✅
• (2021-12-13) Lal Lawm Thanga: Awesome! Have been downloading and trying out a bunch of extensions until now and it is exactly what I was looking for with features such as keybinding, highlighting words + auto scroll, plus voice is very standard. However I wish that the highlighted sentence remains in the middle of the screen.
• (2021-11-30) Mxo Rivera: Just perfect!
• (2021-10-18) Cristina VÎRTOPEANU: 👍👌
• (2021-10-04) Alden Ferdon: Easy to use and works really well. I saw in the earlier comments that you might be considering adding some additional highlight colors? My only complaint is the light yellow highlight color can be tricky to see on white backgrounds.
• (2021-10-04) Cuong Nguyen: Simple and easy to use
• (2021-07-04) Ahmett: Pc nin yerleşik dil paketini kullanıyor. genel olarak başarılı. Hız ton gibi ayarlar da yeterli seviyede.
• (2021-06-24) Henrique Geremia Nievinski: the best free TTS solution for Chrome!
• (2021-05-14) allan schøtt: Easy to use, reads fast haven't encountered any bug so far.
• (2021-04-24) Esmaeil: I liked it! search among many many Test to Speech extensions, this one works well! PLEASE note you need to change the default voice to one of the google free high-qiality voices to get most of the extension. and the Text Auto-Highlighting feature works quite well! I really like it (the most similar to this one is Natural Reader which is very limited for free version) 5 Stars
• (2021-04-15) MLVince江彦霖: It is working well and tally and smooth.tqvm.
• (2021-03-31) Sue Fulton: BEST ONE THATS ACTUALLY FREE!
• (2021-03-02) Jamie Carnarvon: Reader has better (more authentic) sound voices than most others out there, however, the read skips pages - so not ideal.
• (2021-02-28) Sagar Vasnani: It's so good that I am starting to think that this is possibly the most underrated extension on the store.
• (2021-01-30) broken-lycan: I really love this one and would give it five stars. It has the highlighting function directly on the webpage, no copy-pasting, no selecting. And the voices are really good too. But a few days ago after not using it for a while I noticed that it quite often just stops reading mid-sentence. When I go back to make it start over, it always stops at the same place in the sentence and nothing I tried could make it work. If there's a way to fix this I would be really grateful because I'm looking for a different one right now and basically nothing is as good as this one.
• (2021-01-25) Secheli Alexandru: Hey, great app if you don't have that much time to read. Also, you can plug in your headphones and do something else ( so, yeah great app for multitasking )
