Review Summary
Users appreciate the extension's clear English speech, ability to read offline PDFs, adjustable voice settings, and its free, open-source nature. However, multiple reviews highlight the absence of pause and stop controls, intrusive and unstable speak buttons, limited language options beyond English, occasional speech malfunctions, and limited speech initiation methods. Many users desire better control, more language support, and less intrusive UI elements.
Pros
- Reads English text clearly and supports offline PDF reading.
- Allows adjustment of speed, pitch, and volume.
- Simple and easy to use interface.
- Free and open source, making it trustworthy and extensible.
Cons
- Lacks a pause and stop button for speech control.
- The speak button/icon is intrusive and sometimes covers text or is unstable.
- Limited or no support for multiple languages; many users want native language support beyond English.
- Issues with speech functionality after changing settings or over time; sometimes cuts out or reads only parts of text.
- Speech initiation options are limited; some users wish for right-click to speak without extra buttons.
