This should not be such a hard fix. MS should just add the “Read Aloud” function in all their applications. It is an accessibility concern.

Tried to use "New" (2024) Outlook for about a week. This is a showstopper for me as well. TTS really needs to be standard feature accessible in all MS applications.

There is no Read Aloud function in the mail composition window. Immersive reader is entirely unhelpful if you are trying to utilize Read Aloud while composing new emails.

Hi - I am having the same issue. I was funded via access to work for read and write - however I chose to decline it this year as I was using the read out loud function. Now I really regret my choice as the function has gone in outlook.

I find it really unhelpful for Microsoft to make a sweeping judgement that everyone who needs to hear their drafts and emails needs to have immersive reader - how about actually giving the customers a choice.

As you can tell - I am getting really exasperated.

If anyone found a fix - please let me know.
