Read aloud not working

Hi JamieJaura,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Could you please help me with the below questions:

• Are you using the read aloud application from Microsoft store or is it the read aloud feature of the narrator in windows 10?
  
  
• Is the read aloud not working across all the applications in the system?

Read aloud not recognizing

Hi chouchouxG

i suggest you use the feedback hub (winkey+F) to let the development team know about this issue, hopefully they will fix it quickly.

in the meantime, when read aloud is on, click the person icon on the read aloud toolbar to adjust the voice and/or the speed to see if that makes a difference.

 

Edge vs Copilot vs Windows "Read aloud" / "Text to speech" settings are confusing

The Copilot that sits on my Windows 10 taskbar has a very natural sounding female English voice with a Xhosa or perhaps Zulu South African English accent. I do not like it. I have tried changing Edge browser's voice, as well as Windows' text to voice settings.

This is clearly still not very thought out because if I open Copilot in a browser window and activate 'read aloud' and click on the read aloud icon at the bottom of a Copilot response/answer -- TWO VOICE TRY TO SPEAK THE SAME TEXT TO ME! Lol. I just want to know who the South African lady is so that I can set my other devices to use the same.
