I just started using it on Samsung S23 but like it so far. I am triggering it using the accessibility shortcut of two-finger swipe up. The voice is smooth, though it could be improved a lot. It feels a bit robotic, doesn't seem to be using the latest AI advancements. Whether I continue to use voice or not I find the text in reading mode much better than the original text in the web page. Many sites do not allow pinch to zoom, so I am finding it useful in Google News and X app as well.

I love it. it's the better "reading mode" than the built-in ones. Please add ability to display summarized text as alternative to the original article.

Δεν λειτουργεί, τζάμπα έφαγα μια ώρα να διαβάζω και να προσπαθώ να την ρυθμίσω

I used to love this app when I had a Samsung Galaxy, but I upgraded recently to the latest Google phone, and now I can't use Reading Mode at all. Oh, the app is installed, but the icon to access it won't show up on my screen, and no matter how many times I open and close Reading Mode, I can't find any instructions on how to actually use it or access it at all with my current phone. I'm very disappointed, because I used to love it.

"I have a feature request for the Read Aloud function. Please add a setting that allows users to customize exactly where the app pauses (e.g., only at periods/commas) and the duration of those pauses (e.g., 0.5 seconds for a comma, 1 second for a period). Currently, it pauses too long on simple line breaks."

Absolutamente inútil. No funciona para nada. Imposible de recomendar.

My device was stricken by the frustrating "lag bug" two months ago. The Google Reading mode would pause for an inordinate amount of time and even freeze up between sentences. I fixed these problems by uninstalling the app, installing SD Maid and doing a full cleanup of the OS and app cache. Then I restarted phone, reinstalled app, and disabled battery optimization for both the app and the main Google app. The TTS now works smoothly.

funziona malissimo e prende il controllo dello schermo.... bastava avere la possibilità di leggere le pagine web in maniera semplificata come avveniva prima. Purtroppo od ogni aggiornamento di Android spariscono funzioni utili e arrivano funzioni inutili
