Amelia Barnett (ID: 0000005f2b32f1f6) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/26/2024 DOES NOT WORK/NO MONEY BACK. This company is a scam. This advertises as working in Twitter but it doesn't - when you attempt to edit the text it becomes pure gibberish. I have emailed multiple times and reached out on Twitter asking for my money back and had no reply. I've had to dispute the $75 charge.

Gleb Firstov (ID: 0000000252844528) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/11/2023 Doesnt work at all

icon

Brian Larson (ID: 000000cc913e900e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/30/2023 In general this extension performs well. I have gotten used to some of the quirks and have generally good workarounds through the custom shortcuts I can add. I have found that their support is very responsive and I probably should reach out to ask about some of the difficulties I have gotten used to. It is possible I have been doing things wrong and they can point me in the right direction. I appreciate the extension overall.

Legato Exia (ID: 000000e45c411428) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/25/2023 Still doesn't work well at all with duolingo. It used to be pretty good a few versions ago, but for some reason it doesn't click on words anymore. For something that keeps telling you "sorry, you gotta give me money to do this" (how many subscribtions am I supposed to have, internet ? Most people dont' have unlimited money, you know ?), I'd expect a bit more quality. Too bad, since this plugin could be very good and help a lot of people otherwise, lots of potential imo.

Todd Harmon (ID: 000000fd8ad24e1f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/03/2023 Does not work well at all. I spend more time retyping correction than if I would just have typed it in the fist place. I'm a native english speaker but it just does not pick up anything well unless I have a headset with a mic. Does not work that good with Airpods or laptop microphone. And if their is any talking or noice in the back ground you get lots of random stuff. I contact support and asked for a refund and they told me sorry go away basically. Nothing to help with it not working.
