L Nouri (ID: 000000e615e82a2d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/28/2021 I actually uninstalled it before I realized that it requires having the extension to leave a reply. The basic voices are SOOOOOO ROBOTIC they are annoying. If I have to pay for a voice not to be annoyed by a trial period, then it's not the app for me. Read Aloud's basic voices are 100% better.

Zoran M (ID: 000000ede4b9c77c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/12/2021 Impossible to evaluate without creating an account. Why?

Esmaeil K (ID: 00000002d7c70462) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/24/2021 It's overrated and greedy! It's really not a good idea trying to sell my own computers hi-quality voices (from IVONA) to me again! Hey dudes, those voice files are my property, not yours! Why don't you simply let me use my already-bought voice files? Plus, it does not support real-time on-page Highlighting (of the sentence being read)! Try (Pericles) for chrome, it's outstanding and free (with enough features). I guarantee you'll like it.

grace rice (ID: 000000d649ff30c4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/29/2020 It is a great extension, but I'm trying to clean out my computer and I cannot get rid of it. Does anyone know how to delete it, when I look at the top where it usually says uninstall it just said installed?

Andrii Melnyk (ID: 000000aabd07f868) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/05/2019 Great tool! Especially after recent updates.
