Thank you for keeping the 'Google Translate English' voice option. It's the only one I can comfortable use when listening to fanfics. The ai voices always sound so wrong.

Really like the voices, preferred to Speechify, but functionally it is awkward. - Can't choose where to start reading without manually highlighting specific text. - No option to skip text in brackets - Readalong highlighting is only available in a popup or separate window, not the the original web page.

Remarkable. It is such an improvement in my life. The older version had some shortcomings that have been corrected by this new release. Sad, having read some of the reviews, that others have not found this to be the case. In closing, I'm very appreciative for this feature. Google continues to improve the quality of my life

I am looking another extension instead of Read Aloud. It doesn't work well in recent days.

Garbage. I used to rely on this formerly brilliant extension to help me edit my writing. Often, you can catch issues by listening that you don't detect by reading. But now it usually reads a heading or paragraph and just hangs. I can't make it work and I'm beyond frustrated. And as an editor, I recommended that my writers use it and now they are also unhappy. Why did you mess with something that was working beautifully?! It's been garbage since the update last spring. I'm done.

I hate to do it Read Aloud, I have depended on you for so long. You were my number one used extension by far up until a few days ago. I have tried to use other voices, reinstalled, but I cannot get you to work without stopping every other sentence. I hope you get it sorted out. I will happily give back my 5/5 stars + pos review when you do. I need a solid TTS extension, so until then I must say goodbye my old friend -_-

Very recently (a day or so ago) this version stopped reading continuously. I was very happy with its performance in reading with read.amazon.com books. It used to turn the the next screen without any problem. Now it just reads one page and stops with a spinning indicator and will not continue. Can you please advise how to get back to a previous version or fix the issue that is now being reported by many others as well. Thanks for the great extension (when it works as before that is).

Posting similar to mitsuo hayashi + Janitha Ranawansa to get the developers attention. This keeps crashing - great tool before the issues!
