What better way to kick off the new year than with a brand new functionality for the suite of apps that we’ve grown so accustomed to, and one we use on a daily basis.

And it’s very easy to use, as you can see from the picture above, simply place the cursor where you want the reading to start, press the Review button and then click on Read Aloud.

However, until January 2022, the only ones that get to fiddle around with this new feature and listen to their own creations are only Office Insiders.
