I can't see any way to start Read Aloud on Word on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. Is Read Aloud available on android tablets?

Read Aloud works fine in the Edge browser on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and it also works well in Word on my Android phone, but I can't find a menu to turn it on in Word on the Samsung tablet.

I'm using the latest Office preview for Android.

I'm guessing that Read Aloud doesn't work yet on android tablets, but perhaps I'm missing something?

    I am having the same issue, and Microsoft doesn't seem as if they are trying to solve it.

    Hello Everyone,

    Listen to your Word documents (microsoft.com)

    As stated here, it works for MacOS, Windows, iOS - iPad/iPhone, Android Phones, it didn't' mention Android tablets.

    As a workaround, you may use the web version.

    Please do send feedback through the app,

    Thank you :)

    HI Ninabee1,

    You would have to toggle the desktop version in your browser for it, or you can right click the link and press open in new tab.

    Somethings if it is set to mobile version in the browser like Chrome, it will open the app.

    To do the desktop, click the 3 dots or menu option in your browser, click on desktop version.

    Thanks,

    Shawn
