Preview TTS before inserting to slide

I'm trying to preview my text-to-speech narration before inserting it to the slide. After adding my text, I click the "Preview" button, but all it does is give me a sample of the voice I've chosen. It doesn't read back the text that I have added so that I can make adjustments "on the fly". 

Is there a way to hear the TTS script before Inserting it on to the slide? 


I'm using the non-AI version at this point.

    Hi KairasMistry-9d,

    Thanks for pointing this out. You’re correct that in the classic text-to-speech tool, the Preview button only plays a sample of the selected voice and doesn’t read back the custom script you’ve entered.

    I’ve shared this as a feature request with our team so they can see how valuable it would be to preview text-to-speech before inserting it. For now, the only way to hear the generated audio is to insert it onto the slide and then preview.

    Thanks again for sharing your feedback!
