Read aloud in word app for android

Hi Saiid,

Based on my test, Read Aloud feature is available on my Android device. After we saved this document and clicked the Menu icon, Read Aloud would show up. For your reference: Listen to your Word documents

You mentioned that you have updated Word app and sign out your account. I suggest you tried to sign in your account and create a new document to test again.

If you still can’t see this feature, please try to reinstall Word from App Store and check it again. Moreover, please provide the version number of Word for us.

Best Regards,

Ivy

Thank you for your quick response
I tried your steps but unfortunately this feature doesn’t show up. Maybe the app version.

word version 1.0.1 (16.0.13628.20214)

Hi SaiidMD,

Based on the article, this feature should be available in all versions of Word on Android.

Moreover, we did see this feature in the same version at our end. Since you are using the latest version of Word, we suggest you uninstall Word app and reinstall it from App Store, sign in with your account and see the result.

Best Regards,

I have the same exact issue with Read Aloud not showing up on my android tablet.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled from the Google Play store and it is not available.  Works fine on my Android phone but not on my android tablet.

Yep,

Same issue here. Works great on my Android phone, but no Read Along option on my Android tablet.

I figured it would be under the review tab, but it's not there, or anywhere else I've checked. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the app but no joy.

Any advice would be appreciated
