Do you find it easier to proofread a document or an email when you can hear what you’ve written? Luckily, there’s a useful function called Read Aloud that will play back written text as spoken words, and this is available in several Microsoft 365 apps, including Word and Outlook. It can read both Welsh and English text, in addition to several other languages. Watch the video below or follow these instructions: 

• The first step is to ensure that your text is in the correct proofing language. Highlight the text and select Review 
• Select Language, and then Set Proofing Language 
• Select your chosen language and then click OK 
• Navigate your cursor to the start of the passage you want to read aloud 
• Select Review and then Read Aloud 
• You can change the language and the voice of the playback
