I'm not seeing the "Read Aloud" option on the "New" version of Outlook. It's not under accessibility settings like the "old" Outlook. Seems like this feature was overlooked.

The instructions via support for "old" Outlook are here:

Anyone know if this is available in "New" Outlook?

Version

You have Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.1018.300 (Production).Client Version is 20231020006.20 .

    It's five months since this question was asked. I'm asking my workplace (a university) to not move to New Outlook because of the lack of support for those with dyslexia.

    @Microsoft can you please give us an update on when this important (and previously available) feature will be included in New Outlook? You also need to expand your beta testing group if issues like these are not getting picked up.

    I wish Microsoft would respond to the many great points about having the READ function while drafting emails.

    I got frustrated with my workaround using Word and reverted to the previous version of Outlook. Hopefully Microsoft will add the Read Aloud feature soon.
