"New Outlook" does not have the read aloud function when you are composing/writing emails (the feature is only available to read emails you have already received or sent). This is a huge miss and a disservice to Microsoft's customers, especially those with disabilities. Numerous folks are complaining about the lack of the read aloud feature in this thread Microsoft Read Aloud for New Outlook - Microsoft Community. Can Microsoft please respond and provide a timeline for when the Read Aloud function will be available when users are composing/drafting emails? Thank you.

A temporary work around, you can copy the email into Word, and use the Read Aloud feature there. Make your edits and paste back into the email. It's not ideal, but it works.
Thanks Scott, hope to see more on this thread.
Thank you for landing your voice to this important misstep by Microsoft I literally could not do my job without this feature.
I strongly agree; I regularly use the Read Aloud function when composing and would like to see it in the new and "improved" Outlook.
