Chris Vydas (ID: 000000a1b7cc9ce4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/05/2023 Doesn't work. Extensions homepage domain for sale. Abandoned

James Sinni (ID: 0000008458266f95) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/12/2023 It was great until I can't edit and change the voice options anymore it just loads forever and even deleting and redownloading didn't fix it, other than that works great.

John Doe (ID: 000000b320d07883) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/04/2021 It works for a bit, but then will stop reading or skip a paragraph entirely. I am using the free version due to needing it only for a few days, but this is making it hard to do any from of homework. past that small complaint, it works better than most of the other TTS extensions here but I would like for it to read the full paragraph instead of half.
