Microsoft Edge (Immersive reader- Read Aloud) not there
Hi Team, Here I would like to update that Read aloud feature is not available on the Microsoft Edge. I am not getting this feature in my Ubuntu operating system. Please let me know if this featu...
Two years later, this still isn't working any updates on this HotCakeX? The reason I used edge over other browsers is because of the read-aloud feature.
isTofu_ Sadly Microsoft decided that accessibility features for Linux are not that important.
- No, it was working and then they removed it. They didn't just decide to ignore people who have reading difficulties, they spat in their face by crippling a feature that was working perfectly.
Microsoft just hates disabled people. It's evident throughout their own OS, and now they're ruining other OSes out of spite.I'm confused as to why it was removed too. It was working at one time under Ubuntu for me and then was removed a bit over a year ago. Someone in another post said it was removed after upgrading from v98 to v99.
It works on Android just fine. That would suggest to me there is no technical reason it will not work.
- There is nothing to be confused about, the developers of edge wanted to disadvantage visually impaired users, presumably for fun.
Whoever is in charge of Edge since v90 or so takes sadistic pleasure in doing things like removing or crippling features, adding nag screens and useless misfeafures that nobody would ever ask for, force-feeding Microsoft products and services and resetting, ignoring or removing user preferences, and wasting screen real-estate, compute resources and user's time.
Edge is now just as much of a virtual torture chamber as Internet Explorer was at it's worst, the only difference is that it doesn't collect browser toolbars like Pokémon.
Forget it and download a different browser just like you always have. Microsoft doesn't have a clue how to treat users with respect and they never will.
