Microsoft Read Aloud for New Outlook

I have learning disabilities so the read aloud feature was wonderful.

The read aloud feature in old outlook was a great time saver. I used it to both read my incoming emails and my email drafts. It was a real time saver for me. it is important enough to me that i will not utilize the new outlook until this feature is added. the immersive reader is not an adequate substitute for this feature.

You updated MS Outlook and decided to discriminate against people who may need to hear how the e-mail sounds when drafting a response. Fix it now.

Stop adding useless features and UI changes for the sake of keeping programers employeed. The new outlook was not ready for release, It should have been beta tested longer and issues fixed before telling companies to upgrade. You are acting in bad faith when you intentially push for customer to update knowing that you have a faulty product.

Should this be an example of AI programing then your AI needs better logic or data sets to work from.

Such a good point.

I hope they bring back Ctrl + Alt + Space soon. It was simple and practical, just what was needed without altering the workspace, unlike when the 'Immersive Reader' opens, which is a visual pain.

Until then, it's Ctrl + C and off to another program to read properly.

Please can Microsoft get this sorted ASAP.

I use TTS every day. I find it quite disgraceful and disrespectful in 2024, that Microsoft could launch a product without basic functionality for people with disabilities and/or neurodiversity.

This needs urgent attention!
