gerdo strza (ID: 000000f539ebf2d6) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/02/2023 doesn't have polish letters - this makes it useless to me

Marciano Santos (ID: 00000056f33b9716) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/26/2022 Ele funcionou perfeitamente ao ler um pdf e, realmente, consegui ler super rápido usando esta ferramenta. Ela é melhor para texto corrido e conteúdo não tão complexo. Se você não está familiarizado com o conteúdo que irá ler, a velocidade pode atrapalhar. Porém, para ler um romance ou um livro de fácil leitura/compreensão, ele é ótimo.

shuit RidgePain (RidgePain) (ID: 00000046e76567c6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/29/2021 many people don't like it because "it doesn't work" or "only reads a tiny bit" but they haven't really tried any other options for this extension, like reloading the page so it loads the extension, or pressing ctrl+a to read a whole page, or even just using a keybind. very simple fixes for very simple problems that people just don't care enough to try to fix. unlike the others ive tried, i don't have to create an account to go above 100, so this is quite helpful!
