Depends on the operating system. All modern Android versions (at least 13 works) and iOS should work.

I bought it to try it, but it doesn't seem to work on Firefox/Opera/Chrome on Android. Is there something the user needs to do to enable it on Android? Or are these all Webview based and incompatible? It works on desktop and on Samsung android browser, but my main use case is for the most popular browsers on mobile.

The icon in posts is quite small and hard to hit on mobile. I'd like people with some sight impairment to be able to easily hit it.

When it works its really nice and useful. I'd love to be able to listen to reports, tickets, UBS comments.
Most voices sound a bit synthetic. If its possible to add some more natural voices then that would be nice.
