Hi

I am not sure this is the right forum to ask this question but I could not find a Word forum.

I just bought a new Windows 10 computer and put Office 2016 on it. I downloaded the Speak platform etc. and spell check for Danish and spell check works fine, but the Speak function does not read the Danish text! I write in Danish, set the proofing language to Danish, the Speak icon becomes activated when I highlight Danish text - it just does not say anything! I works fine... See more

I write in Danish, set the proofing language to Danish, the Speak icon becomes activated when I highlight Danish text - it just does not say anything! I works fine for English - and the Danish Speak function works fine on my old Windows 8.1 computer with Word 2013. I just cannot get it to read the Danish text out loud.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Anyway, for text-to-speech I prefer to use TextAloud with IVONA or Loquendo voices, which are really excellent (much better than Microsoft). You can check at http://nextup.com and https://www.ivona.com/us/about-us/voice-portfolio/ . ▲ Collapse

Mine must be outdated then. And you still can't use TTS in Danish?
