Office 365 - Read Aloud Speech

[BobArch2]

On April 28, 2018 my Office 365 was auto updated to 1804 Build 9226.2114. When I entered Outlook, a pop up help message was displayed announcing the Read Aloud Speech feature. And, the feature had its own click-on button on the Home Ribbon.

A research of the feature using Google indicates that Read Aloud in Office has been available for awhile. But this is the first time it appeared on my system, I think.

In Outlook, Silicon Sally does a great job reading the mail. In Word, Silicon Sam is also great. It will no doubt be useful to those with impaired vision. It can also be used in PowerPoint.
