Orlando Hernandez (ID: 000000d67692ff6c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/25/2023 Thank you so much for this click2speech extension, I do a lot of study and research but I'm not a fast reader. I can do a lot more with is app, I have gotten used to the fastest speed. It would be nice if we could train it as it reads to make it even better. I'm also learning programming and would love to see the raw code to learn and collaborate with improvements. Thank you again for you work!

r u human or dog? (ID: 000000531a06adfd) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/19/2023 Love this extension. The best text to speech extension for me. The only extension that can click to speech. Sadly this extension is not working properly for me lately. After each click to speech, the language option used will greyed out and become not usable. Refresh does not solve this problem. I hope this get fixed soon.

MentalBlue (ID: 0000009daea64709) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/09/2021 I think this is a great tool for productivity if you have to turn your head from the monitor and still not miss your work / content. Is there any possibility to add some even more natural voices? I am pleasantly surprised that it also includes Croatian as a language but more natural voices would be great to have as an option. More than that I would like to be able to select the whole text to read not just one paragraph that is selected automatically or even download the text as mp3. Is that actually possible somehow?
