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.

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.

This extension works fine, but you have to restart Chrome to use it, once it is installed. Then switch it on, and click somewhere in the page. The reader will either read everything or just the paragraph that you select. The text that is to be read is underlined. I would like to see this feature added - read everything below the point at which you click. Also, it would be nice to see some options list added that would allow you to add html5 tags that you don't want read, like lists or code items etc. If the code is publicly accessibly, ie open source, at github, then I would be happy to contribute.

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.

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

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.

I use this extension to read articles for my school work. The reader doesn't read everything though. It does not read my online text books, which is unfortunate, and also does not read pdf documents. I'm not sure where to find something that would read these types of online papers.

it works, but causes css display issues. Nice to use when you're too lazy to read an article yourself. :)

Definitely an improvement on the TTS technology. The voice doesn't jar near as the one provided by the Kindle. Still needs improving, but a very good start.
