Microsoft’s Immersive Reader is a tool that helps improve reading comprehension. It’s built into several Microsoft products, and the list of supported apps and services is about to grow. Microsoft announced this week that PowerPoint, SharePoint, OneDrive, and MakeCode will all soon support Immersive Reader.
Immersive Reader for PowerPoint has been a highly requested feature, according to Microsoft. It has also been requested several times on UserVoice. Now, Immersive Reader is rolling out in PowerPoint for the web to Office Insiders. The rollout will continue throughout April and hopefully reach general availability soon.
With Immersive Reader support, you can select any text on a PowerPoint slide and choose “Open Immersive Reader.” You can then change the focus, background color, spacing, and other elements within the tool to make it easier to read.
Microsoft held a hackathon to prototype Immservie Reader support for SharePoint, and the feature is rolling out to SharePoint this April.
OneDrive will also support Immersive Reader starting in April and May of this year. You’ll be able to use the feature to read Word documents and text files stored within OneDrive. Lastly, Microsoft’s MakeCode will also support Immersive Reader.
Microsoft has a full-length video breaking down Immersive Reader and some of its features and advantages as well.

Review: Razer Laptop Stand Chroma V2 brings flair to your Razer PC
Razer’s revised (and premium) Laptop Stand Chroma V2 for 2021 is a killer accessory with flashy lighting, extra ports, and it supports dual-display output. While the stand quality is excellent and makes sense for the Razer purist, the $150 price tag and lack of adjustable height may be off-putting for non-converts.
The amount of ‘good’ all-in-ones from PC makers is lacking in 2021
I love the all-in-one form factor, but the all-in-one market for Windows 10 PCs just isn’t great. There was a brief period of great PC all-in-ones from HP, Dell, and Lenovo in 2017 and 2018, but many of those products haven’t been updated and aren’t even sold anymore. Where did they go?
