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

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.

    Hi All,

    It appears to have resolved itself over night, Australian time zone.

    Which version of Word?

    Have a look at captivoice.com. It might cost you some money but I've used them in the past.

    Can anyone suggest any websites that allow you to play documents out loud? I can't believe this issue isn't fixed yet.
