You can even download more languages and voices in your Windows Settings.Įdge has an Immersive Reading view that removes all the extra distractions from the page, leaving only the text and other relevant content. Chrome requires an extension on the desktop and mobile versions to do this. The new Microsoft Edge reads to you both on desktop and mobile.
