"To choose what voice you hear while using Read Aloud, sign in with your Microsoft account."

Anonymous

Each time I press the READ ALOUD button, it gives me this error message:

"To choose what voice you hear while using Read Aloud, sign in with your Microsoft account."

But I am signed into my MS account.

It appears that my credentials cannot be verified. When this happens, MS Word defaults to the 3 built-in voices.

Any ideas?

Hi guys -

Looks like it's now been fixed (11:30am (UK) time).

Restart your computers.

The natural Female and Male voices are back for me again after restarting Microsoft Word. Maybe the problem has been resolved again.

This is still happening to me. when it's done it in the past, i've been able re-log in and fix the problem. Today, nothing seems to help, and it's the same on all my devices. l've re-logged in several times and re-started.

please help,

Garry
