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]

Thank you for the suggestion, @Deleted. I will forward it on to the team that does Read Aloud.

@Elliot Kirk thank you so much! I use text to speech to proofread emails and other documents. Hopefully, we will be able to read aloud the selected text like the classic version of Edge. Thanks for listening.

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.
