Reviews of text reader:
poor quality, a lot of the buttons don't actually do anything and they reader is quite slow without a function button to speed it up. There are better screen readers that will be better with less hassle.
It accomplishes what you need it to. However, there's several issue. My biggest one was the fact that if you copy and paste a PDF article, which is split into two columns, it'll read that split as a space - So, the reader will pause after that break - even though it maybe halfway through the sentence. Wish this could have been worked into the code so this doesn't happen. So, it makes reading Medical Journals and Articles pretty much unbearable. Also, the voices are not that well a.i. optimized. It'll still sound like a robot, regardless of how much you change the pitch and speed, and voice. Overall, it's ok because it actually does what it claims. HOW WELL it does it is why I took off the 2 stars.
trash it does not work i tried everytime i highlight and do what it asks me it does not work
Can't express how awesome this is and how helpful. All you do is right click anywhere on the google screen, click the extension and paste what you want it to read! Amazing and really helps, thanks so much!!!!!
NIce app!

Its so bad it wont even work ive tried every thing it just doesnt work would not reccomend this at all!
I really doesn't work that well
Didn't work...
not the best but i didnt expect much in the first place, this is acceptable, works for what i am looking for
does not work
this extension is somewhat useful but it wont read many websites or files please fix
good
window is what i was looking for.
Works great for me, good app, does what it say's.
exactly what i wanted. Highlights the text when reading in window mode where other extensions lack. Perfect! I love it.
it's aweful....it's unnatural reading is too distracting that i can't concentrate on what they're reading, i can't even do what you suggested because the page where i'm supposed to make those changes is distorted & some items unreadable & i'm unable to use properly.
I LOVE this TTS. It has all the necessary features- such as text highlighting that follows along as it reads. Wonderful job!
I like it but it just doesn't read through enough words at a time for me (more than three sentences).
love it
Like other text-to-speech extentions, "Google US English" only works for a couple of sentences. The native speaker is a little robotic, but not bad. When saving your options settings it's hard to see the text next to the button that says your settings are being saved. Also, the voice setting doesn't save, I guess because the native selection is the only one that works. All-in-all the best text-to-speech extension I've found so far.
