I use this quite a bit, and the app too. Works well with emails and newsletters via a web browser as well as web pages and pdfs. There are a few mispronunciations—some of which are entertaining (viz "Goldman Satches")—but not enough to disrupt the flow.

It sounds, very, unnatural making, it almost worth dash, less at, times. the speech, is so, broken that, I, would, rather, read, it, all to, myself. Exhausting to, try to listen, to every, time. IS THERE ANY HOPE here? seems like it makes a run of words together here and there - but it is so bad I've got to keep looking for a product that works well enough to use. I have epub readers that I use - but I have to use downloaded epub files. I want a web reader for protected files (one users can't download without hacks). Please Let me know if I'm doing something wrong or need to pay for the service to fix this.

Absolutely worthless. Cant even get the app to turn on, much less actually read something.

After evaluating about 10 different options last night, I concluded that this is the best TTS extension available today on the Chrome Web Store. 1. Highlighting words as they are read is key to help those with attention issues retain their focus 2. The ability to skip sections is crucial. A few extensions only have play/pause. 3. This extension retained its location in the document (tested w/a Wikipedia article) better than most. And if it does lose its place, #2 (skip function) helps you get back to where you were. 4. The voice was remarkably natural, although that might be a function of what I have installed on my PC.

Beautiful. I would like to be able to choose the speed of the TTS to the limit.

This extension is a great addition to my computer and daily life! As I work, I can listen to articles easily! (instead of listening to the radio, for example, and get a good brainwash!). I really appreciate all the new features! Web Out Loud just gets better and better! Thank you.
