read way too fast

M M2024年10月23日

This extension is buggy. The speed goes too fast (won't let me adjust), the words are often mispronounced and several words keep getting skipped.

Oliver Hargreaves2024年10月15日

Great and very handy, it works and seems brilliant, + Works reliably +Easy to use + Only proper app out there - Can't change voice - Can't change speed - Occasionally misses words

Lee Klemmer2024年9月12日

Hi google peeps and read and write software This app is good but not perfect It skips words- pls fix this issue

Abigail Troub2024年8月30日

It's very helpful for reading screenshots! Especially if the text is in cursive or in a specific hard to read font! 10/10, would recomend.

After troubleshooting for almost an hour it didnt work both on my personal windows laptop and my district cromebook. may be worth trying on your device but in most cases will not work

Ivan D Largo2023年1月11日

It works. But it is slow. Reason: Maybe because it attempts to do two thing at once :Read Aloud and Screenshot OCR. Or something in the code/framework used. Suggestion 1: Divide in two different extensions. Suggestion 2:Ask for a small donation. Refundable if not satisfied, etc. Thanks for your work

AI product read

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) screenshot reader that extracts text from screen captures and provides text-to-speech functionality

Enables users with reading difficulties or accessibility needs to capture screenshots and have the text content read aloud, as a companion feature to Texthelp's Read&Write for Google Chrome

User clicks the extension icon → extension captures the visible tab screenshot → screenshot is processed through Tesseract.js OCR engine in an off-screen document → extracted text is returned and can be read aloud via the text-to-speech feature. The extension also responds to external commands from the parent Read&Write extension.

Target users: Users of Read&Write for Google Chrome with accessibility needs / Students and educators using assistive technology / People with dyslexia or reading difficulties / Users who need to extract text from screenshots or images

The extension is a companion to Read&Write for Google Chrome; the parent product's paid/login status is not fully assessed here
premiumOnly voice metadata exists but its enforcement mechanism in the parent product is unknown
Large minified/bundled files make complete code flow analysis challenging

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension itself does not implement any billing, subscription, or payment gating. The 'premiumOnly: true' flags found in speech-iframe.js (lines 3002-3589) are metadata properties on ElevenLabs voice definitions. These flags mark certain text-to-speech voices as premium but are only descriptive metadata - the extension code does not check these flags to gate features or show upgrade prompts. No payment platform integrations (Stripe, etc.), no subscription logic, and no upgrade UI exist in the extension source code. The parent Read&Write product may have premium tiers, but this extension does not.

Confidence: 80
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: No login UI or authentication flow exists in the extension. The extension works as a standalone OCR screenshot reader. The speech features reference a userName parameter in SpeechServerEngine settings (speech-iframe.js:1116, 1130), but this defaults to empty string and is used for speech server caching identification, not user authentication. The extension is a companion to Read&Write for Google Chrome, which may have its own auth, but this screenshot reader extension itself does not gate any functionality behind a login.
