Reviews of chess.com voice commentary:
Didn't work on /play/computer as other commenters suggested, doesn't work vs computer.
This extension sucks you cant even fix a bug this is absolute bullcrap
Appears not to be working in Live Chess (/live) after a recent release, only in /play. This is a problem because there are some bugs playing with DGT boards in /play so it is still necessary to use /live when playing with a DGT board. I hope the developer can fix this.
