Are there any recommended text to speech extensions that can be used in Edge please?

Are there any recommended text-to-speech extensions for Edge? I tried the default one, but it doesn’t read Storyline or Rise courses on Review or when launched as SCORM in a web browser. I also tested NVDA, but found it unintuitive and robotic. Any suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Hello RazWoolard

    Thanks for reaching out!

    When you mention using text-to-speech for your course, are you looking for a screen reader or something different? 

    • Here is a list of some common screen readers. I understand you've tried NVDA. Perhaps trying out JAWS will be of help!

    I'll open this discussion up to the community to share if there are any Edge-specific browser extensions that they are currently using and can recommend. 

    I hope this helps!

      Hi LucianaPiazza 

      Thank you for the reply - I have not tried JAWS yet, mainly as there is a cost associated with that.  I am very keen on finding out what Edge specific browser extensions are being used and/or recommended.  Thank you for opening the discussion up on the community.😀

        Hello RazWoolard,

        I'm happy to chime in! I'm also interested in what the community can recommend regarding Edge-specific browser extensions.

        In the meantime, I suggest testing with the latest version of other supported browsers, such as Google Chrome and Firefox, and seeing if it makes a difference.

        Let me know how it goes.
