We&#8217;ll start with Microsoft Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-immersive-reader\">Immersive Reader<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">This feature doesn&#8217;t show up when you&#8217;re searching or on a page with tons of stories.  However, if you click on one of the articles, on the right side of the address bar, you&#8217;ll see this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"289\" height=\"69\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_addressbar_icons.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft Edge right-side address bar icons - a browser feature you may not be using.\n\" class=\"wp-image-6965\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">You should be familar with the Star icon &#8211; that&#8217;s how you mark a page a Favorite (aka Bookmark).  The Immersive Reader is the center icon.  If you click or tap it, you&#8217;ll then see this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"57\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_readaloud_andmore.jpg\" alt=\"Micrsoft Edge - the Immersive Reader Toolbar\" class=\"wp-image-6966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_readaloud_andmore.jpg 801w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_readaloud_andmore-600x43.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_readaloud_andmore-300x21.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_readaloud_andmore-768x55.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-aloud-and-text-preferences\">Read Aloud and Text Preferences<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Starting on the left, you&#8217;ll see &#8220;Read aloud.&#8221;  (You might notice that this same icon appears in the original menu to the left of the Immersive Reader.  If you only want to have the page read to you, click or tap that icon instead of the Reader icon.)  Next, &#8220;Text preferences.&#8221;  If you choose that option, this menu will appear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_textPreferences.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft Edge - the Text Preferences menu\" class=\"wp-image-6967\" width=\"284\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_textPreferences.jpg 351w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_textPreferences-150x300.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">As you can see, you can choose text size, spacing, font, column style and themes.  I&#8217;m not going to show each of these because I want you to experiment for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grammar-tools\">Grammar Tools<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">If you move on to &#8220;Grammar tools,&#8221; you&#8217;ll see this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"358\" height=\"454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_grammartools.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft Edge - the Grammar Tools menu\" class=\"wp-image-6968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_grammartools.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_grammartools-237x300.jpg 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">How cool is this menu?

If you click or tap it, the toolbar will disappear and won&#8217;t return until you click somewhere on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-immersive-reader-examples\">Immersive Reader Examples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Let&#8217;s look at some examples of the Microsoft Edge Immersive Reader.  While these images are small, just click or tap on a photo and it will show you the full photo.  We&#8217;ll start with a normal article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_normal-article3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_normal-article3-1024x854.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of the page I am working with.\" class=\"wp-image-6972\" width=\"582\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_normal-article3-1024x854.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_normal-article3-600x500.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_normal-article3-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_normal-article3-768x641.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_normal-article3-1536x1281.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_normal-article3.jpg 1621w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">In the article above (remember, you can click or tap it to see it larger), I put a rectangle around the icons on the right side of the address bar to highlight them for you.  Now, if you were to select the Immersive Reader icon, the page would appear like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_pageinreadermode.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_pageinreadermode-1024x706.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of the page in Immersive Reader Mode\n\" class=\"wp-image-6973\" width=\"664\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_pageinreadermode-1024x706.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_pageinreadermode-600x413.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_pageinreadermode-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_pageinreadermode-768x529.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_pageinreadermode-1536x1058.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_pageinreadermode.jpg 1830w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-text-preferences-example\">Text Preferences Example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Notice that the page is more readable with fewer distractions than on the original page.  Once again, I&#8217;ve used a rectangle to highlight the Immersive Reader toolbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Using the Text Preferences I explained above, I changed the page to look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_yellow_page-1024x628.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_yellow_page-1024x628.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of the changes I made using  the Text Preferences menu\" class=\"wp-image-6974\" width=\"638\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_yellow_page-1024x628.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_yellow_page-600x368.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_yellow_page-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_yellow_page-768x471.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_yellow_page-1536x943.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.4kcc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/edge_yellow_page.jpg 1918w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">I changed the font, the font size and the theme (after all, yellow is my favorite color!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-grammar-tools-example\">Grammar Tools Example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">Using the Grammar Tools, I wanted to highlight the nouns in green and the verbs in orange.
