Check How to Have Microsoft Edge Read Articles Aloud
Navigating long web pages or articles on the Internet can be exhausting for people who are not in the habit of reading. Reading can feel like a mini-exercise for your brain and make you feel sleepy when you’re already tired. The Read Aloud feature in Microsoft Edge lets you listen to a web page like an audiobook or podcast. It’s a great tool for natural listeners who prefer information in an auditory form, or for those who have an aversion to reading. Microsoft Edge does a very good job when it comes to speech and speech intelligibility. People who have used text-to-speech or screen readers in the past might expect a robotic or unnatural sound, but Edge sounds quite natural with human-like rhythms and voice notations. You can also change the reader’s voice or accent.
Open the webpage in Microsoft Edge. It would automatically display the Immersive Reader or Read Aloud tool in the address bar when it detects that a significant part of the page is text content. After you open Read Aloud, you’ll see a ribbon at the top with a Play button and buttons to go to the next or previous paragraph. You can click Voice Options in the upper right corner of the sidebar to adjust the reader’s tempo and select a different voice or accent for the reader.
How to make Microsoft Edge read articles aloud
- To get there, first, open the article you want Microsoft Edge to read aloud on your Windows 10 PC or Mac. Then, from the URL bar, click the Immersive Reader button (you can also press the F9 key) .
- The page will now change to the reader mode format.
- To listen to the article, click the “Read Aloud” button.
- Microsoft Edge will now start speaking the article text from top to bottom. It will fade out the entire article, only highlighting the word being spoken.
- You can change the playback speed and the voice itself from the “Voice Options” section. Edge has a versatile library of natural-sounding English voices for different accents (German, Japanese, Indian, etc.).
- You can pause and navigate the voice function in various ways. First, you can click the Play/Pause button at the top. The Previous and Next buttons will help you jump to the previous or next paragraph.
- The Read Aloud feature does not allow you to jump directly to a part of the article. Always start speaking from the top of the screen. So if you want to skip ahead, scroll down and align the desired text to the top of the window. Then double click anywhere in the window to jump to it.
- Once you’re done, you can use the ESC key to exit Read Aloud, or you can click the Immersive Reader button to exit reader mode entirely.
