It’s not surprising to see a collection of browsers running on our PCs and other mobile devices. Most of us use them for reading e-books. Windows features a native ebook store that allows you to purchase your favorite e-books. Besides this, it also offers an immersive reading experience by allowing you to have your web page, PDF, or eBooks read aloud by the Microsoft Edge browser.
All you need to do is fire up Edge, open an eBook, press the “Read aloud” button located at the top-right corner of the browser, sit back, relax, and listen to your favorite eBook read aloud to you.
Under Voices, there are a limited number of accents to choose from in English, including the US, UK, etc. Each of these accents also has an enhanced-quality version. For the default US version, the difference between the default and enhanced quality is pretty subtle.
When enabled, the feature lets you see only the headline, text, and any pictures vital to the article. You can even change the background color (for reading in the dark!) and font size within the reading view.
