You can use text-to-speech to have text on your screen (not your current dictation)
read aloud in a computer voice. For example, you can have a document that you (or
someone else) dictated read back while you listen for mistakes and sections you may
want to revise.
Text-to-speech is available only in the DragonPad, Microsoft Word, and Corel
WordPerfect. You can, however, copy and paste text from other programs and then
use text-to-speech.
To start text-to-speech:
To start text-to-speech, do any of the following:
■ Select the text you want to hear (a line, a paragraph, and so on), and then say
“Read That.”
■ Select the text you want to hear, and then select Read That from the Advanced
submenu (or right-click in your document and click Read That from the
shortcut menu).
■ Move the insertion point to the text you want to hear and say any of the
following commands:
To stop text-to-speech:
To stop text-to-speech, do any of the following:

Reading.
■ Right-click in your document and click Stop Playback/Reading from the
shortcut menu.
■ Press the ESC key.
You can control the speed, pitch, volume, and other text-to-speech settings. From
the NaturallySpeaking menu, point to Advanced, click Options, and then click the
Text-to-speech tab.
