I have not used Read Aloud, but the reviews make for interesting reading. The Firefox extension has an average rating of 4 stars, which sounds good, but 15% of reviewers give it one star. Many of the individual reviews refer to it not reading parts of the content.

The Chrome extension also has a four star rating, but 11% of the first 100 reviewers gave it one star and there were quite a few two star ratings. Again, individual reviews refer to it not reading parts of the content.

I am going to have a play with it, but I am not particularly hopeful of learning why such a significant number of users have these problems.
