• (2024-09-03) Robert James Gabriel: I don't usually post like this, but since this extension is broken and will be removed soon (because it's not on V3), I wanted to share a heads-up. Helperbird has Immersive Reader built in, and it's free! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/helperbird-accessibility/ahmapmilbkfamljbpgphfndeemhnajme
• (2024-08-30) Halima Brewer: looking for an alternative to immersive reader with its abiity to break down words into syllables and read each one slowly. Also the noting of parts of speech. For someone I am teaching who is illiterate.

• (2024-02-14) Kyle Verspoor: It's no longer working because it is pointing to a service that no longer exists after a chrome update. If the author updates it, it should start working again. Please update!!! This was amazing for so many students.
• (2024-01-27) P.M.Smith: I love this app and have encouraged my special needs students to use it, but I too have not been able to access it for more than a month. I get the following error message: newselaimmersivereader.cognitiveservices.azure.com’s server IP address could not be found. I am using Chrome Version 120.0.6099.225 (Official Build) (64-bit) I hope the developer corrects this asap.
• (2024-01-26) Mika Olsen: I've been loving this extension but it has suddenly stopped working. I get a message it's unable to connect to the server.
• (2024-01-23) Deanne Lashin: No longer works with latest version of chrome :(
• (2024-01-21) Jane Sowden: I cannot get it working today!
• (2024-01-11) Amelia Fox: Immersive reader is a great browser extension! As a speech pathologist, I often recommend it to my teenage clients who still find reading difficult. I have also received the same error message as other recent reviews. Which was very frustrating! I found a work around though... 1. Download the Helperbird browser extension on Chrome 2. Once downloaded, click on the Helperbird extension and an options menu will open on the right of your Chrome window. 3. Search for "Immersive Reader" in the search bar within the Helperbird options menu. 4. Select text that you want to read and then click the Immersive Reader button on the Helperbird options menu. Hope this helps!
• (2024-01-09) Kenneth Weeks: Such a helpful extension. Sad to see it no longer working (as noted in the previous two reviews below). Any chance it will be repaired to catch up with the lastest browser versions?

• (2023-09-03) P Man: With MS now removing this essential tool from Edge, this is the only way to get the Grammar tools with the syllable splitter and the parts of speech highlighter. They are an amazing resource in the classroom especially with the focus now on phonics based reading.

• (2023-05-03) Tricia Louis: A superb extension! I have shared this extension with hundreds of educators at various conferences over the last couple years and each time I share it, I get so many "oohs & aahs" of how powerful it is. Thank you so much for this extension - it is such a gift to anyone who needs that little bit of extra help reading web content!

• (2023-03-07) Олександр: Can you help me set and save a black background? Unfortunately, I have to set it up every time. I mean that for some reason, every time I click 'help me read this,' the previous settings are lost, and I get a white background again

• (2023-01-29) Doodle Bug: Covered my entire screen, making it impossible to actually select any text. Even fully zoomed out I couldn't find the option to make it smaller. The option to change text box size did show up on a different webpage so I'm unsure what caused this issues. Regardless, it's unusable for me.

• (2021-10-28) Lauren R: I'm not sure if it's a Mac issue, or I'm just not using this correctly, but it only reads one word at a time... meaning, I have to click on each word, then select the listen option. Not intuitive at all. I was hoping to use it with my students, but too many steps and not helpful.

• (2021-05-28) Emily Rackley: I had used this extension for awhile, but with a recent update it only allows you to have 10000 characters read at a time. Now if this was 10000 words I would not have rated it what I did, but sadly you can only choose to have a small portion of what you want to be read at a time. I do hope that this gets fixed in the future.

• (2021-05-18) Court R: I've been using this for a few months, and it has been great. Unfortunately today it has become more or less unusable, or impractical to use in most contexts. If you try to use it with any text that has over a thousand characters in it (that's around 4 or 5 paragraphs, give or take) you'll get a notification which says "Sorry, there is a per use character limit of 1000, please select a shorter section of text!" and you'll be forced to pick a shorter length of text. I imagine the developers didn't intend for this to become an issue so do know that my review isn't about whether or not the extension works-- it's simply a reflection of my current thoughts after this major change. I've been forced to return to using Microsoft Edge browser for Immersive Reader again. It's definitely annoying... but it's a much better alternative to selecting text in thousand letter increments! For those who don't know, Immersive Reader is officially available on Microsoft Edge browser, and OneNote products. It's also available on "Word Online." You can upload a file onto your free Word Online account and use Immersive Reader through there. Immersive Reader is also available on several other Microsoft products. You'll have to figure out which venue suits your needs more. Happy reading.

• (2021-05-18) Renata Mikolajczyk: Hi, Does anyone know why there is a limit for 1000 characters to read and why it is impossible to use the immersive reader with Kami anymore. The limit and problems with use it for PDFs started today.
• (2021-03-26) Airton Pereira: What is the total number of characters that the extension can read?
