Windows 10: Have the narrator read my selection?

I have a question about the narrator that goes beyond its core purpose (accessibility).

Is there a way to use the narrator (or other Windows tool) to read aloud any of the following?

• A text file
• My clipboard contents
• A text selection (like something I highlight, formatted as though I had copied it to the clipboard)

Ideally, I would like it to do this using some kind of hotkey and without reading a bunch of other stuff unless I ask it to.

Any ideas?

Can Narrator read a selected paragraph on a browser?

I found that Narrator can read aloud paragraphs in Word, Notepad, etc by using the keyboard shortcut: Narrator + Shift + Down arrow. But not on a browser. I wonder if there's some way to make it selected paragraphs on a browser too.

Any help much welcome.
