Let Microsoft Edge Read Web Pages, PDFs, and E-books to You<\/h1>\n

Microsoft Edge isn’t the most popular browser in the world – that title belongs to Chrome. But Edge is certainly getting better – it is much improved from the version that Microsoft included in the first version of Windows 10 back in July 2015.<\/p>\n

Most everyone knows that can use Edge to browse the Web, but did you know that you can also use Edge to open PDF files and most standard E-books?<\/p>\n

Edge can even read to you. Let Edge read PDF files, E-books and entire Web pages – or parts of Web pages – to you. To hear an entire Web page read aloud, right-click anywhere on the page and then select \u201cRead aloud\u201d from the pop-up menu. You’ll hear one of the built-in Microsoft voices start reading to you from the top of the page. If you just want a portion of the page read aloud to you, highlight the text you want to hear, then right-click on the selected text and choose “Read aloud” from the pop-up menu.<\/p>\n

Fun note: Generally Edge and the “Microsoft voices” do a good job of reading text aloud to you. However, sometimes it can be amusing. In a news article about US – Chinese trade, the Chinese president Xi’s name was pronounce “Eleven” – like the Roman numeral XI. So, it’s not perfect, but it is really pretty good!<\/p>\n
