ChatGPT Reader/Transcriber: Free AI Text to Speech/Speech to Text (TTS/STT)

I haven't even used the Extension. And yet I feel compelled to rate it one star Based purely on the way you're responding to your users. Now keep in mind I will use the extension and based on the functionality it provides and how well it works for me, I will change my rating accordingly (And since I'll be using the free version of the extension, I'll be rating the free version of the extension). So if it's a good extension, regardless if some surrounding features (as you called them) are paywalled, if it's good enough to deserve four stars then it should be rated four stars. After all, it's your hard work, and I respect that. However, I don't see myself ever rating it five stars simply due to your lack of bedside manners. I just can't give a dev five stars after witnessing them talk to their users like that, It's just incomprehensible. More importantly, I think you're failing to accept that, unfortunate as it may be, the undeniable truth is you need your users far more than they need you. Especially now with vibe coding. And I don't see any honorable scenario where a dev would need a subscription based "support" from each of their users. I think it's greedy. It's a terrible fad that has already infected the software market like an epidemic and it's sad to see individual devs, especially amateur devs (meaning virtually no history of commercial development behind them) immediately jumping on that bandwagon. If your app or extension Is properly developed, you'll have no problem getting far more than a 1000 users. You'll probably get in the 10s of thousands, and if you're lucky/really good, hundreds of thousands. If you charge each of those users $5, that's a mighty pretty penny. You do not need $5 a month from Tens of thousands of people, it's deplorable. Just code another good app and charge another $5 for that. Subscription-based pricing is akin to milking your customers until they can no longer produce milk and when that happens you discard them, which I find to be far more "ungrateful". Don't follow the example of the insanely rich. Set a new standard and be a part of the community who changes the way this system currently works. If you are in a dire situation that needs extreme financial help and time is of the essence, start a go fund me or some type of campaign and explain what it is and why you need it and if it's a just and honest cause I am confident you will receive the support you need. Remember, these are just my opinions and advice, and in no way am I claiming to be an authority on any of these domains. This is just a courtesy nudge in case there's a humble guy in there who's hit hard enough times that it resulted in him being a dick to the people supporting his hard work.

Used to be good but more and more basic features get paywalled. Want to skip ahead? Better pay. Want to locate where in the text its currently at? Better pay. Used to be good but progressively getting worse.

Did absolutely nothing. Disappointing.

Please add a feature so the text is followed with the voice, so we dont have to scroll. And changing pitch of voice for downloading and listening would be perfection. Highlighting the read sentences would be beyond perfection! And a quick paste and read button within right click context menu! Thanks! edit: from 5 star to 1 start because there is a 2500 charcter limit! Are you kidding me!! even worst tts has 10k limit. uninstalled.

This was a great program, when free. I understand asking for 5.00 a month but after giving it to us for free it feels wrong. I can completely understand if you gave us the option to pay 5.00 for a premium subscription with extra features but to start charging for something that was originally free just doesn't make senses. You said in a previous comment " I have been spent hours (months even) on this project and kept it free. Due to my personal situation, I wanted to get support" You spending hours to do something is a choice you made. And out of the "kindness" of your heart you gave a great program. Now your "kindness" has been effected and the "money" is getting to you. You also said " If u want the entire extension, you can always just take a few weeks/months to code up a similar extension" That is a rude comment to make to that reviewer. You should treat people better. When people see you behaving this way they will not support you or download your product for that matter.

I used it over 2 days, and was about to share it to my community but then it slapped me with a pro subscription. It suddenly removed the voice I used to use for free and wants me to subscribe for a pro version. Removed the extension immediately.

Not working as of 02/26/2025

used to be really convenient, but i only use it for 5+ minute audios so now it's unusable without premium. i unfortunately don't use it enough to pay a monthly subscription, either.

Ehhh, it does have potential so I gave it a positive 2 stars for effort however, unless I can highlight text, right click and play, it's useless to me. Let me know when if you ever get to that point. Keep it up.

It's great, I use it DAILY, or at least I DID use it daily, now it's got a limit on how many prompts I am allowed in the free version before I am locked out for a specified time!?!? WHY? You changed the terms of service essentially and that's not very fair, considering when I downloaded it and have since gotten used to it and have come to love this little companion, I am suddenly given limits on how much use I can get from it in a day unless I pay for it. Reminds me of the other subscription economy BS that Ford and Tesla suddenly perpetuated upon their customers, they disabled the heated seats and for owners to get this feature back they must pay a monthly subscription fee which is happening with a lot of brands. Disappointed. I understand we can't expect you to provide such an amazing tool for free, but when you take away features (Ford, Tesla) or limit a previously unlimited per day usage of the basic functionality of the tool (you) it comes across as somewhat shady! Either set the limits and inform the user that there is a cap on per day prompts from the outset, or don't set limits at all...
