Oct 14, 2017 Talk to text is a mess now. It never listens and understands what is being said and then why show a huge microphone and a tiny keyboard button to switch back to the keyboard.

- I normally use narrator on windows but it is difficult to navigate through, which can be frustrating. I just needed a reader for Microsoft Word and I was not aware this was offered until now. Thank you very much for this article!
- On the first step when you have to click on the arrow, all my arrow is saying is to move it below the ribbon?? Help please!
- Thanks so much for this information. I have been trying to do this forever to have my textbooks read to me (I copy and paste them into a doc) Then I added the Speak command. Amazing. I am so happy to be able to do this and even be able to have it talk in the background while I do other things on the computer.
- If your Word is an older version Wordtalk a free macro from University of Edinburgh may have greater function for you.
- Sorry forgot — Central Access Reader from Central Washington University will also read word documents
- my nephew is dyslexic and cant read but would like to play computer games all of which require him to read the instructions. what would you recommend for this?
- i have office 2007 and i’m not getting the speak option in the way you said please tell me what should i do
- The Wordtalk macro may work for you.
- So I have Office 2013… I managed to get the speak command just fine but I’m not sure how to edit the voice settings (the speed, the pitch…etc)
- I have office 2016. Why doesn’t the speech work for me though?? I have the button but it never really glows if you get what I mean.
- dont forget libreoffice, read text extension is the one you seek
- what about pdf? is there anything for that because i have alot of pdf books but don’t get time to read them completely.
- I use Balabolka, have a lot of features and is small. Besides I can have it portable through Liberty key portable applications
- Awesome, I never knew about the Microsoft word text to speech option. Thanks guys
- The best option that I have found with the highest quality is Ivona. A little bit pricey but makes everything above look like absolute rubbish.
- That ‘Quick Access Bar’ is on 2010.
- 2007 also has a Quick Access Bar. But I guess 2010 was the one that added speech. Figures :)
- When I search for ‘text to speech’ in Word 2007, it returns that it is only available in Excel.
- What version of Word has the ‘Speak’ command? I have 2007 and it’s not there.
