Does not read alt text.
Simply doesn't work.
Did not work for me. I looked up a tutorial and did just as it said it still did not work. It works for a classmate of mine, but perhaps he used something different or it's just my computer.
Really bad, you have to paste the test you want read
It works in the worst way possible. You need to click the text to get it to talk, but only on certain boxes of text. It will highlight what can be read with an annoying white box, most of which are links, meaning if you want to it to read it your going to ride that link too. What I actually need it to read can't be read for some reason, so I copy it all and paste it in their preview. While the extension is enabled the white highlight will just not go away, even if the toggle voice is currently off. Its just bad and not useful for what I need. It is actively distracting.
doest work o.O
can't even hear it, doesn't work. i tried highlighting text, clicking text, nothing. not even the settings tester worked.
Agreed, doesnt work.
I could not make it work. Ironically, I deleted it. Tried to leave a review, it wouldn't let me leave a review unless I had it installed. Ha! So I reinstalled it just so I could leave the review. It doesn't work. Maybe it used to, but it definitely doesn't now.
Does not work at all. I hope I can find a screen reader that will.
Can't figure out how to make it work
Doesn't do anything at all for me, no idea how to get it to work. Yes I restarted Chrome.
It didn't work while I had it added to chrome, and then after I removed it, it was working and I couldn't turn it off.
It looks like a great extension, but how do you make it work? I installed it, went to a Google Doc, and it doesn't do anything. Deleting.
Can't get it to work at all no matter what I try.
doesnt work at all
Doesn't work..
It didn't really work. I couldn't figure out how to use it (and I'm usually pretty smart about these things). I navigated to three different websites, and it automatically started reading once. No luck getting it to work (automatically or manually) on the other two sites.
Doesn't work
It is not doing anything. :((
Could not make it work
Testing my website for the visually impaired. This extension needs to connect to the alt descriptions for images as well. Also, when you leave a page, the audio continues, as well as when you disable the extension and exit the browser. This can be a frustrating extension for those that need this. Do better.
So far it only works for my windows 10 hp stream ....
Using Google Chrome could not get it to work ...
I can't get it to work. I press the button and click around the screen but nothing happens. I even tried highlighting the text and nothing happened...??
Breaks some websites so that forms don't show up
Works...sort of. Saw the ratings and wanted to see for myself. The main thing is that it works on CERTAIN pages, like Facebook, but not others, like Kindle. So my intended idea of having it read books to me won't work, at least with the Kindle Reader on Chrome for PC.
To all the people saying it doesn't work: You have to click the text to make it read. Not very obvious, I only found it when I went to copy and paste something after installing it. That said, it's choppy and cuts out partway through a paragraph (text I was reading had a lot of citations in it, so maybe that was the problem), and will only start back at the beginning of a paragraph. It also sounds very much like old an school text reader vs the newer technology they have in iOS accessibility features, for example. Would be great if you could select speed options. But it works.
I am using to improve my English reading web news at the same time I listen to. At the moment works fine.
It does not reads pdfs, and only reads the line you click on so if you're reading you got to click on every single line which I assume would get annoying. Also it says "quotation mark" when reading a quote
I cant figure out how to uninstall it and it doesn't read everything.
it works, but causes css display issues. Nice to use when you're too lazy to read an article yourself. :)
