Steven Fager (ID: 0000006edf3eb5c6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/24/2024 I use it daily. very good, but once in a while it just stops while reading a long text.

Marcio R. Del Rio Marques (ID: 0000003ef1446f44) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/26/2024 Agora além de todo dia quando usar, ser redirecionado para um site de teste para aí sim poder fazer a leitura do texto, ainda adicionaram uma barra lateral que se abre e não tem como se livrar dela. Cada dia pior.

Jaeden Michaels (ID: 000000a9a8ff3bec) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/28/2024 It was great before, but now it doesn't work at all.

Андрей Тёскин (ID: 0000009c53e357a8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/13/2024 Был отличный голос "Google русский", но в последние пару дней засбоил: сперва стал произвольно чередоваться с какой-то другой, дурацкой и неразборчивой озвучкой, а затем и вовсе на неё перешёл. В настройках ничего не менял. Это только у меня так? И если так у всех, то это теперь постоянно так будет? UPD от 13.08.2024: Меняю оценку с 4 на 1. Расширение не работает уже две недели. Совсем не работает, просто ничего не происходит при его вызове. Судя по последним отзывам, проблема массовая. Но разработчики, похоже, просто "забили" и ничего не собираются исправлять. Ни одного ответа ни на один отзыв.

Adrian Currier (ID: 000000bd66ede4de) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/04/2024 I'm happier with this than with any other extension I've tried for TTS so far. No complaints! EDIT: For some reason a few days ago it started crashing my browser every time I tried to use it and this is still happening
