Read Aloud: An option to read only selected text instead of whole page.
For Now, Read Aloud is working like charm. It would be much better if there was an option to read only "selected text" on the webpage [instead of whole page, which is set by default]
I see this post was over 3 years ago. Has the feature been added yet? If so, how do we do it. I haven't found that option yet. Thanks for your help.
Not that I'm aware of. You might try this: start the reader by selecting Read Aloud from the Settings menu. As soon as the Reader begins speaking, highlight the text that you want read. The Reader should jump to the highlighted text. When it's finished with your text, close the Reader to stop it.
Watney this is a regression, selecting text was the old way of doing it and now with the new version it reads the page. Why is it taking so long to implement read-selected text only? Why do I have to use a browser extension to get this when it is possible for Edge to do it natively? There are people with reading disabilities or bilinguals that could really benefit from getting this one completed.
Thanks.
- completely agree, what headache when it glitches reading the entire page or switches voices on you. promising tool with not much love behind it
