3 Ways to Have MS Word Read Aloud

Thank you Just Great

Thank you! I appreciate this video

Can Narrator work as an echo function to read out loud to you as you type? Currently trying to find reliable a text to speech workaround that's easier to use than JAWS. Thanks!

Hello, my MS Word is reading Aloud, In Spanish.. How can I switch to English ?

Thank you.. this was a life saver!!

I want Word to read any document on my screen, such as a pdf, newsletter, etc., and NOT read the url menu bar, buttons, etc. How do I do that?

Is there an app that would let me read out loud, proofread my MS Word doc, before sending. I own an MS Office program that I bought years back. Back then it was big $$$ but tell now did everything I needed. I do not use it enough to buy 365. What can I do, use, if any?
PS, I tried all in word tips/tricks. I think I require an aftermarket app.

That helped ,,, Thank you

Mine does not work at all!

I can see the read aloud button but it’s still not reading I’m so frustrated. Why isn’t it reading? Is it cause I’m on a Mac? Please help lol

I accidentally hit something and it started reading aloud. Startled me. I came here to find out how I did it without meaning to. I’m still baffled.

This saving one of my class grades

I wish my microsoft word had "read aloud" on there. it doesn't. i don't know where to find it either.

Thanks.... Good Video. my query is about read aloud stops after a couple of words or paragraph in my case. any guidance?

Dankooo

Danko means thank you ❤️

I want the older female, male type voices, ( not the voice with names displays) in settings option how to change it to male female type

can i add different voices

this was really helpful. thanks a lot

what about when using speak in M S you get blue lines under sentences looks like it is correction my question is what are they and if is is for correction tell me how?

What a crap 10 minutes video for just demonstrating a thing that can be done in 1 min.

I'm having a hard time dealing with whatever happened to the natural voices that Read Aloud gave me, which are way easier to digest when using, but now, the natural voices are gone, and I'm stuck with the robotic ones. Any idea what happened?

I love the Read Aloud feature! Thank you! I get an error message in Word "You're offline. Some voices are only available online, so the voice you hear may change." Then it doesn't read anything. I rebooted. No change. I can save it as a PDF and it will read it aloud in MS Edge. Any ideas?

Thanks very helpful in reviewing my MS Document

Yeah, so when I check the settings for the read aloud section, my only two options are "Male" and "Female." I tried downloading the voice packs and restarting my PC, and there's no change in the selection options.

Hello! So my issue is that its buggy for me either using read aloud or option escape. When I use "read aloud" under review if I stop to make a change while its reading it stops reading whereas I would like it to keep going. If I do option escape that doesn't happen how ever it wants to start reading where it feels like it rather than at the beginning of the highlighted section.

Read aloud doesn't work with me

Ditto on the version? I cannot get the small start/stop/forward icons at the top right of the Word screen...Magic?

That was awesome! Thanks for the helpful advice.

I have the "read aloud" button but the control screen never pops up in the right hand corner. any advice?

Read Aloud has vanished for me with the Microsoft word automatic update, do you know what it is I have to do to get it back as the keyboard shortcuts aren't even loading it up :(

Thanks! How do you add voices in Mac (Word 365)?

Thanks for your help.

This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for this! But what about the resolution for adding voices? I also only have Zira, David, and Mark and would like to add other voices as well.

I don't have nay of these functions in word

thank you for this tutorial!

Very informative but what version of Microsoft Office do you have?
