Microsoft adds Read Aloud feature to WordAugust 1, 2017 - 15:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - This week Microsoft rolled out a number of new features heading to Office 365. The stand out addition is a feature called Read Aloud in Word, which you'll eventually find available under the Review tab on the Word menu, PCMag reports. Microsoft offers a range of tools that come under the heading of Learning Tools in Word. They exist to "help you improve your reading skills by boosting your ability to pronounce words correctly, to read quickly and accurately, and to understand what you read." Read Aloud falls squarely into the "read quickly and accurately" category. When enabled, Read Aloud allows you to hear any given Word document being read out loud while each word is highlighted simultaneously. By going through this process, Microsoft believes it is easier to recognize and correct errors. And because Read Aloud happens within the existing work flow, it's easy to rectify each error as soon as it becomes apparent. Microsoft also views Read Aloud as beneficial for users with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. It should allow for improved reading and accuracy, and ultimately more error-free documents.
