Reviews of talking web:
Does not work. Plain and simple. More recent reviews reflect the same outcome....the only reviews claiming this extension works are old. The support section on here has countless unanswered messages from users asking for help to make this thing work. Obviously the developers no longer maintain this extension...or it is doing something behind the scenes like collecting data or whatever... in any event, it should be removed from the chrome webstore.... DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
Did not speak a word. Design of extension looked nice/well thought out. Should also add volume control. Testing multiple text-to-speech extensions, all others were able to speak.
