en | 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. |

en | 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. |

en | 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! |
