Review Summary
The extension provides basic screen reading features working reliably only on certain sites. Users find activation unclear and often struggle to get it to function. It reads text line-by-line or paragraph-by-paragraph, which can be tedious. The voice sounds outdated and lacks customization options like speed control or ignoring punctuation. Many reviews report frequent bugs, partial reading, or complete non-functionality, especially on sites like Kindle and PDFs. Despite these issues, some users appreciate it for English learning and occasional reading assistance on supported pages.
Pros
- Works on certain pages such as Facebook and Google Docs.
- Able to improve reading and listening experience for English learners.
- Simple to activate by clicking text, allowing it to read selected text or paragraphs.
- Works well when it functions, with some users reporting it works perfectly or fine.
- Provides basic screen reading functionality with underlined text indication.
Cons
- Unclear activation method; many users cannot figure out how to make it work.
- Reads only the clicked line or paragraph; does not read entire pages or continuous text automatically.
- Choppy and cuts out midway through paragraphs; reads text literally, including quotation marks and reference numbers.
- Lack of options for voice speed, voice gender selection sometimes does not respond correctly.
- Frequently doesn't work on many websites, including PDFs and Kindle Reader; some users report no functionality at all.
