Review edit, from four stars to three. Keeps regularly removing/deleting my preferred voice package, and forcing me to reinstall. This is really annoying. A solid, well-functioning little program, that does exactly what it says. Light-weight and easy to use, but could be improved by and option to turn off its actually saying 'asterix' or 'greater than' whenever it hits * or > or other symbols. Either way, I love it.

Beautiful T2S app with very good voices but appears to be an abandoned project. There is not even a function to delete notes, so every now and then I just uninstall the app to get rid of the clutter.

It has worked great for me and the voices that come along with it are good. My only complaint is on sites that require accepting of cookies or had a pop up prompt get stuck in a loop of loading the existing data cache instead of the simple page refresh and being able to select to accept cookies again. But a quick uninstall and reinstall does fix it at least for the selection pop up to continue listening
