Demonic laughs, rude noises, and strage robotic singing - not what I was expecting at all. Sounds as if the hackers are out and about.

Pretty good. it could have some improvements (like more voices, sound less robotic, identifying when language has changed). works well in English's and Spanish. i use it every other day. i use it on google docs, reading websites. its great. and you can use it on one tab and go work on other tabs. i don't know what these people are talking about.

Literally 30 seconds into using it the program bugged out and let out a demonic laugh instead of reading my document out loud.

This works well for what I need it for (listening to what I write to make sure I don't have any blatant mistakes that my eyes just skip over). The only two things I wish it had was a way to use the placement of the cursor as a starting point that it would then continue reading from, and highlighting the word it is currently reading.
