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.

This extension is great, the voice is very natural, I like to use this extension to translate the "Economist" articles, then use it to read the voice, it's incredible!

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.

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.

This is SO fantastic: thank you! I really wanted to listen to textbooks that don't have an audiobook version, and Immersive Reader is a lot more pleasant to listen to than the Google books speech-to-text engine.

Wow! I love this immersive reader in my Win PC but when I shifted to Mac, I couldn't use that feature. So, I began to search for it which can be installed and finally I found this exact perfect app for my Mac to use it for reading or writing purpose as a website is sometimes very clumsy & full of advertisements. Hence, this tiny extension has helped me! Thank you!!

Works great! I don't know if this is possible but it'd be nice to make this work on PDF files opened in Chrome as well!
