Tech Tips: Microsoft Edge Makes Browsing Fun Again

 

Microsoft Edge Makes Browsing Fun Again

Contributed by Jerry Price, Assistive Technology Specialist



One of the tools built within the new Microsoft Edge is call Immersive Reader.  When used, this tool weeds out links, ads, and other detritus which ruins the experience of reading articles and items of interest.  Here’s how it works.  Find a news article or newsletter story you wish to read.  When you are on the web page with the news article press Function 9.  If the web page is designed to work with the Immersive Reader utility, it will condense and read as a continuous article.  Sometimes, there is even a “Read Aloud” button.  To get out of Immersive Reader, just press Function 9 again.
