Interesting that this does not have more reviews or users. It seems to be really quick, snappy, with good voices, automatic language detection, and speed dials. Everything that I need is here. Easy to access and easy to set up. I can recommend this.

По первым тестам отлично. Наконец-то норм приложение для Хрома с регулировкой скорости чтения. Голоса, конечно, стандартные гуглтетовские, но что поделать. Алиса в Хроом не впиливается...

I think this is good! But I do find it kinda annoying having to keep pressing ALT+Z. I honestly thought we’d be able to change the keybinds, or at least just click on the text and it would read out. I’m not really sure how to explain it, but that’s my only issue with this Chrome extension. Other than that, it’s a pretty solid extension :D.

Extremely frustrating to use, but has a lot of promise. The highlight boxes look horrendous. I just want the selected block of text to have a custom background color, like a "highlight". But instead of doing that, this extension puts a horrible thick red and white highlight box around the section. Not only that, but the 'Always highlight text under the mouse' is completely unusable because once I select a block of text using the horribly ugly highlight box and press Alt + Z to start reading it aloud, I can't move my mouse without the extension drawing more highlight boxes around other possible blocks of text. It's just a horrible experience. I don't want it to do that. But if I disable that feature, then if I try to select text using the mouse cursor drag method, the extension won't read that area aloud, it will read some parent container instead. So instead of reading a paragraph, it might read the entire page. The extension should have other options too like adjusting volume and even pitch.
