What the Reader Handles

Turn long documents into a reading experience you can listen to, follow, and control.

A browser read-aloud feature can be useful for quick webpage listening. ReadThisAloud is built for the rest of the reading workflow—documents and webpages in one Windows Reader, synchronized follow-along, navigation, bookmarks, playback controls, accessibility tools, and MP3 export.

Use the Content You Already Have

Open PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, text, webpages, and supported images, or paste text directly into the Reader.

Switch among English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese (Brazil). The visible Reader controls change immediately with the selected language while your document content remains unchanged.
