Tech Support - Word Document Talk to Text

You can set your word document up so that you have the option for it to read your book or paper to you. Below is a step-by-step to teach you how to add this to your command ribbon at the top of your screen.


Step 1


Click on File in the top corner of your word document.









Step 2


Click Options at the bottom of your screen.
















Step 3


On the left side of the pop-up box, you'll see the item Customize Ribbon. Click that.











Step 4


When you go to the Customize Ribbon section, it will automatically be set to popular commands. Click the dropdown tab and select All Commands to get the right list.









Step 5



Scroll down on the left list until you find speak. Click Add and it will be sent to your main tabs. You can place it wherever you want it, but I put it on the Home Page for easy access because I like to use it.

If you get an error, select the New Group button under the right-side list and put the speak command there.

You can Rename your new group if you would like, but it's not necessary.


Step 6


Go within your document and highlight what you would like read to you. Once it is selected, find the Speak button in your tabs. Click it, and the computer will read to you.














Techy Out!
