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.
I've been loving this extension but it has suddenly stopped working. I get a message it's unable to connect to the server.
No longer works with latest version of chrome :(
I cannot get it working today!
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!
Another one of those that works well when it does work.

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?
