Reading is great, but sometimes you want or need to listen. Let your computer or phone read aloud to you with the best text-to-speech software for accessibility, enjoyment, and productivity.

Can Microsoft Word read to you? Yes, it can. The Speak feature was incorporated into Microsoft Office back in version 2003. Here's how it works.

Like the original Read aloud (but not the Pixel 8 version), you can follow along on the screen. With only 100,000+ downloads on the Play Store, Reading mode feels like a hidden gem.
