Is Read Pronunciation: English & French safe?
Read Pronunciation sends selected text and sentence context to proactive.im for AI pronunciation and flashcard features.
When its AI pronunciation or flashcard features are used, Read Pronunciation sends the selected word and surrounding sentence context from pages where its content script runs to a vendor generative backend. The stored claim identifies this as gated on the user's AI/subscription setting or configured OpenAI key, and describes the data as page text and DOM content used to generate pronunciation, image, audio, or flashcard output.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.
