Read Aloud mode now uses the keyboard shortcut formerly assigned to non-breaking space, that is, Ctrl-Shift-Space. Bad, bad decision. Must have been coded by people who don't use the product.
How to disable the Read Aloud feature?

Agree. There is no way to disable it. MS should disable it and require the user to turn it on if they want. MS will fix it.

2018-08-20T18:59:26+00:00 I hate read aloud! What a lousy idea. I'll be typing a lengthy post and I assume I accidently hit a combination of keys that enables read aloud. Then I can't make it stop. I have to close Windows Edge and reopen it, losing my post.
Everyone hates read aloud. There is no way to disable it. And MS could care less and will not fix it.
AGREEE..... AGREEEE... AGREEEEE - MS WILL YOU TAKE CARE OF IT ASAP.
Good Luck getting MS to fix this mess!
