Oscar Hunt (ID: 0000004421324f58) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/05/2021 First thing I'm greeted with is that I have two readings left and should sign up for pro. I listened to part of the article I had copied and the voice wasn't any better than free extensions that don't ask you to sign up. Cannot recommend.
