Reviews of screen reader:
The service needs to have settings to adjust how agressive the read aloud feature works. Example: 1) read alound only what I select 2) read aloud key movements 3) read everthing
Works for my use case. I think it needs to have a "disable" in the plugin options but does not. It's not ideal to have to jump to extensions to manually disable the entire plugin. Overall, works ok for reading like JAWS for testing purposes.
It's 2023 and Google has done absolutely the minimum effort for accessibility. I cannot believe it is this bad. I am reading an HTML page with and H1 tag, and and H2 tag. I click on the tab, it reads the page title, and then nothing. Then if you use tab to navigate to the page elements it doesn't work or read anything. This is such a fail from the world's leading company.
