Keyboard Shortcut for TTS?

Hello Heroes,

Can anyone tell me the secret of getting the TTS function as a keyboard shortcut? Or Add to the Quick Access Toolbar?

Alt-8 is the shortcut for Insert Audio from File, because it's the first choice in the dropdown menu. But what about the underline under the letter S in Text-to-Speech? Isn't that also supposed to be helpful for keyboard shortcuts?

Thanks

Katie

    Hi KathleenSaunder​ I think if you do the following key combination:

    Keys are selected separately (not case sensitive): ALT N MA

    ALT = Shows and activates shortcuts on ribbon
    N = Open Insert tab on ribbon
    MA = Open AI Audio dialogue

    That works for the AI Assistant, which we do not have. And MA is the first choice in the drop down menu...which is the reason why it works. I'll bet dollars to donuts there is no way to get down to say...Sound Effects using the ALT path.

    Regular Audio is under O. But ALT + N + O just opens insert audio file...I have no way to get "down" to the Text-to-Speech choice in the menu. Isn't the S supposed to be the next keystroke because of the underline? PLEASE tell me if I am completely off base thinking that.

    I'll try to put in an enhancement request but will not hold my breath that Articulate will consider it for their development roadmap. Why make the software more efficient for humans? 

    Thank you for your help!
