Edge's "Read Aloud"
-
I've mentioned Edge's "Read Aloud" function a few months back, saying it's actually tolerable as a text-to-speech reader. I like it 'cuz I can have it read news in the background while I'm doing something else that needs my actual focus. Lately...it's broken. It'll pause before going through an entire sentence. *Sometimes* it'll resume on its own, but most of the time it'll just sit there doing absolutely nothing, and I have to click on pause/play for it to resume, and then it might make it through another sentence before it pauses again. Refreshing the page and retrying generally doesn't help. The shortcut to it is Ctrl-Shift-U. Is anyone seeing this? I find this to be an actually useful feature, and I'd hate to give it up, especially since it's been working fine for months and months.

It seems to be working fine for me. BTW, I use this to proof-read documents/articles before release. Your ear detects a different set of errors than you eyes.

That's a good idea - except it means booting Edge, and I try to avoid that. :-D
