Freddie360 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Does Affinity Publisher have the ability to speak text, I cannot find it if it does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blende21 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I do not think it does it, natively. Maybe you can borrow the ability from your OS, or install 3rd party tools that can read a text. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie360 Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 I have been copy+pasting text into TextEdit which enables me to check my authorship. It's OK while it's just a para long, but more would become tedious. So a third party program may be the answer if it does become tedious. Thanks for the reply.

Freddie360 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 I have found an unusual work-around for 'Speech' text reading in Affinity, this works in all three programs. Highlite the text you wish to be spoken aloud Press keyboard Option and Esc together and let go Then press F1 - on my keyboard 'Copy' is configured as key F1 It will then read aloud the text. Strange set of key strokes, but it works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
