Where is the Read Aloud option in the new outlook? It was in the Old version. The Immerse Reading option is awful. I can't use it while composing an email.
I agree. We need the Read Aloud feature. It was a useful tool for proofreading email before sending.
I share this pain also, i love the new look but read aloud is key, i us it all the time on the old outlook.
Please put it back.
what a ball drop by Microsoft. This was a pivotal function for drafting error proof and concise emails.
