Playback and Read

A familiar set of features in Word are Playback and Read. Playback lets you play back a recording of your voice to help you proofread. (The Playback feature only comes with the Premium and higher editions.) Read is the NaturallySpeaking text-to-speech feature. Playback and Read includes the Playback toolbar that is in the Extras bar.

You can play back your text by menu command and voice command, as well as with the Extras bar. First, select the text you want to hear. The menu command for playback is Audio→Play That Back.

You can have NaturallySpeaking read your selected text out loud by using the Read That command.
