Immersive Reader cannot read URLs with more than 45 characters

Ivan Herrera 0

Hello

There is a bug with the Immersive Reader. When there is an URL longer than 45 characters, is not read out loud, and skips it.

Is this a known issue?

dear @navba-MSFT

We are using it using the API, but I was also able to replicate this in Teams. We are not getting any errors, but here is an example when I used it in Teams:

Even if you put some text after the second URL , Immersive Reader is able to read it. The problem is that it is not reading URLs with more than 46 characters.

Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks in advance for your help.

dear @navba-MSFT

I do not have access to the debugging code but you can replicate this in ANY immersive reader plugin, what you need to do is copy-paste the following text:

The short link 45 characters: https://www.example.com/a6b8c0d2e4/6f8g0h2i45 The long link 46 characters: https://www.example.com/a6b8c0d2e4/6f8g0h2/4i6

Additional text after the long URL

Then use immersive reader in Word or Teams. You can see that the second URL is never highlighted (or read out loud), it jumps directly to the next line of text, in my example it jumps to "Additional text.....". Here are some examples:

In Word

In Teams

Best regards,

Ivan

@Ivan Herrera Thanks for getting back. Is your concern with MS Word Docs / Teams Immersive Reader OR Azure AI Immersive reader ? Please clarify.

dear @navba-MSFT

The concern is that Immersive Reader is skipping URLs with more than 46 characters when is reading the content. All the Immersive Reader instances or integrations have the same issue. So it is a general issue in all of them including:

Word

Teams

Azure

Others. As see from my previous comments, the issue can be replicated in all of the Immersive Readers integrations, so it is a core functionality that is having the issue. Best regards, Ivan
