| 2024-11-11 | Firefox user 18679715 | | While it does well not to read every bit of text on the screen like headers and links, it tends to skip major paragraphs and/or become un-synced with what is being highlighted. changing any of the settings restarts the sentence, but since it's down in a ticking scale you HAVE to listen to that each tick. |

| 2023-12-03 | ThatWildWolf | | Giving three stars because it works but no more because of the poor customisation options. Overall it's good for visually impaired people. |
| 2023-11-06 | Skelen | | Doesn't do anything, just infinitely loads :( |

| 2023-05-26 | Swagonair | | finally an extension that actually does what its supposed too, I have been searching for HOURS for a decent reader 10/10, I just wish the voices were better - but other than that, exactly what i wanted |
| 2023-03-07 | Firefox user 16322130 | | Basically, it does nothing. I think that it didn't install the voices because I don't listen to any voices. I am on Firefox – Arch Linux – Kernel 6.1.12 – x86_64. |
| 2023-02-12 | Razoner | | I can hear it make sound, and it sounds somewhat robotic, but it's not terrible. It was slow to translate the text on the screen, and it ultimately crashed my computer, so I'm uninstalling it. A language translator with built-in text-to-speech abilities will probably suit me better. |
