| 2024-09-03 |  | | en | 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 |  | | en | 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. |
| 2024-06-08 |  | | en | Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn |

| 2024-02-14 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-01-27 |  | | 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. |
