Reviews of screen reader for google chrome:
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 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.
