There are many reasons to listen to a document, such as proofreading, multitasking, or increased comprehension and learning. Word makes listening possible by using the text-to-speech (TTS) ability of your device to play back written text as spoken words.

One of the self-editing tips you hear all the time is to read your work aloud. It can be a big help for catching errors in your work. But what if you don’t have a place to read aloud to yourself? What if your cranky roommate would object?
You can get Microsoft Word to read your work to you. Built into the more recent versions of Office is a text-to-speech utility called, appropriately, Speak. I didn’t know about it until Richard Bender tipped us off – mainly because Word doesn’t put it front-and-center on any of its menus. But you can put it there yourself. Here’s how.
Word 2013 and Word 365 have a thing called a Quick Access Toolbar, which you can position either above or below the ribbon. (Word 2010 also has the Speak utility.) I decided to put my Speak command there. So I clicked on the drop-down arrow at the right side of the Quick Access Toolbar and picked “Customize Quick Access Toolbar.”
This brings up a dialog box that may look a little daunting, but you only need to do a couple of things here.
At the top of the left-hand box, pick “All Commands”. Scroll down in the list in that left-hand box ‘til you see Speak. It’s circled in green here. Click the Add button – the green arrow is pointing to it – and it will add the command to the box on the right-hand side. Click OK. Now you should see the Speak icon – a speech bubble with a green triangle – on your Quick Access Toolbar.
But what if you’d rather have the button elsewhere – say, on the Review tab of your ribbon? There’s a way to do that, too. Hover your mouse over the ribbon, right-click, and pick “Customize the Ribbon”. That brings up a dialog box that’s very similar to the one we just saw. 
Pick “All Commands” from the drop-down above the left-hand box, and scroll in that left-hand box ‘til you find Speak (it’s circled in purple). But there’s an additional step here, because Word won’t let you add a command to an existing group on the ribbon – so you have to make a new group. On the right side, highlight Review (or the name of whichever tab you’d like to put the Speak button on) and click the New Group button below the box. Word will add a group with the default name of “New Group (Custom)”. (I changed mine to “Talk to Me”.) Now you can click the Add button (at the purple arrow).
Shazam! Your new group is added at the end of the tab.
Now you’re ready to have Word talk to you. Put on your headphones, if you don’t want to annoy the cranky roommate. Now highlight the paragraph you want Word to read and click the button for Speak. 
As you can see, while Speak is activated, the green triangle on the button turns to a red X. If you want to stop the reading, just click the button again.
Speak comes with a built-in female voice. She can be a little robotic, but her inflections aren’t too bad. Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be a way to pick a different voice in my version of Windows, but maybe you’ll get lucky.

- You can use speech-to-text on Microsoft Word through the «Dictate» feature.
- With Microsoft Word’s «Dictate» feature, you can write using a microphone and your own voice.
- When you use Dictate, you can say «new line» to create a new paragraph and add punctuation simply by saying the punctuation aloud.
- If you’re not satisfied with Word’s built-in speech-to-text feature, you can use a third-party program like Dragon Home.

While typing is certainly the most common way to create and edit documents in Microsoft Word, you’re not limited to using a keyboard.
Word supports speech-to-text, which lets you dictate your writing using voice recognition.
Speech-to-text in Word is convenient and surprisingly accurate, and can help anyone who has issues typing with a typical keyboard.
You can use speech-to-text in Microsoft Word in the same way on both Mac and PC.

How to use speech-to-text on Word using Dictate
Make sure you have a microphone connected to your computer. This can be built-in, like on a laptop, or a separate mic that you plug into the USB or audio jack.
It doesn’t matter which type you use, though the best kind of mic to use is a headset, as it won’t need to compete with as much background noise as a built-in microphone.
1. In Microsoft Word, make sure you’re in the «Home» tab at the top of the screen, and then click «Dictate.»
Dave Johnson/Business Insider
2. You should hear a beep, and the dictate button will change to include a red recording light. It’s now listening for your dictation.
Dave Johnson/Business Insider
3. Speak clearly, and Word should transcribe everything you say in the current document. Speak punctuation aloud as you go. You can also say «New line,» which has the same effect as pressing the Enter or Return key on the keyboard.
4. When you’re done dictating, click «Dictate» a second time or turn it off using your voice by saying, «Turn the dictate feature off.»
You can still type with the keyboard while Dictate is on, but if you click outside of Word or switch to another program, Dictate will turn itself off.
Want to change languages? You can click the downward arrow on the Dictate button to choose which of nine or so languages you want to speak. You might also see additional «Preview Languages,» which are still in beta and may have lower accuracy.
Dave Johnson/Business Insider
Speech-to-text alternatives
You’re not limited to using the Dictate feature built into Word. While not as popular as they once were, there are several commercial speech-to-text apps available which you can use with Word.
The most popular of these, Dragon Home, performs the same kind of voice recognition as Word’s Dictate, but it also lets you control Word, format text, and make edits to your text using your voice. It works with nearly any program, not just Word.

15 инструментов для озвучки текста
Недавно мы рассказали, как превратить устную речь в письменный текст. Но бывает наоборот — надо озвучить то, что написано. Например, чтобы создать аудиосопровождение для курса, записать подкаст или аудиокнигу, добавить голосовые подсказки в мобильные приложения.
Раньше для этого требовалось участие человека. Сейчас необязательно искать профессионального диктора или записывать свой голос, если нужно что-то озвучить. На фоне развития Text-to-Speech технологий общедоступными стали синтезаторы речи.
Расскажу, какие есть инструменты для озвучки текста и как ими пользоваться.

Text-to-Speech
Бесплатный онлайн-сервис помогает преобразовать в аудио текст объёмом меньше 500 символов. Text-to-Speech поддерживает 15 языков. На русском текст будет озвучен женским голосом, который звучит достаточно реалистично. Минусы озвучки — есть небольшой акцент, а в некоторых словах неверно ставится ударение. В целом создаётся впечатление, что текст читает женщина-иностранка.
Для преобразования текста в голос достаточно нескольких секунд. Есть настройка скорости воспроизведения. Аудиозапись можно прослушивать неограниченное число раз. Чтобы сохранить результат, откройте контекстное меню и кликните «Сохранить аудио как». Запись сохранится в формате WAV.
iSpeech
Онлайн-инструмент с поддержкой 28 языков, в том числе и русского. Доступны мужской и женский голоса и три скорости воспроизведения. В бесплатной версии можно озвучить текст до 150 символов, в конце аудиозаписи прозвучит реклама сервиса. Скачивание записанного текста доступно только после регистрации и оплаты.
Платная версия позволяет озвучивать любой объём текста с оплатой по факту. Стоимость варьируется от $0,025 за слово и меньше — зависит от суммы предоплаты. Помимо онлайн-версии, есть мобильные приложения, плагин WordPress и бесплатные решения для разработчиков.
Oddcast
Онлайн-сервис позволяет озвучить до 600 символов за один раз. Среди 32 языков есть русский с выбором из трёх голосов — одного мужского и двух женских. Интересная фишка сервиса — можно добавить эффекты озвучки: скорость, эхо, реверберацию и другие. Визуально Oddcast привлекает тем, что текст зачитывает анимированный диктор, причём с помощью рандомайзера можно даже изменить его внешность.
Для профессионального использования сервис предлагает воспользоваться онлайн-API. С его помощью можно включить речь в любом онлайн- или мобильном приложении. После регистрации доступна 15-дневная бесплатная версия, дальше оплата взимается по факту использования. Минимальный платёж начинается от $99,50 — этого хватает на 40 000 минут аудиозаписи.
2уха
Российский бесплатный сервис с довольно старомодным интерфейсом, но качественным результатом озвучки. Чтобы запустить перевод текста в голос, нужно загрузить исходный файл или написать текст в специальном поле. Можно настроить звучание: выбрать мужской или женский голос, изменить высоту тона и громкость, указать нужный формат файла на выходе (MP3 или AWB), озвучить знаки препинания. Также сервис позволяет указывать ударение при произношении — для этого нужно проставить знак «+» перед ударным слогом.
Без регистрации можно обработать файл до 100 КБ. После регистрации доступна конвертация файлов размером больше 100 MБ и сохранение истории загрузок.
Voicemaker
Этот онлайн-синтезатор позволяет бесплатно перевести в речь до 250 символов текста. Можно выбрать мужской или женский голос, настроить эффекты воспроизведения. Результат звучит вполне естественно. После обработки доступно скачивание файла в формате MP3.
Стоимость платной версии начинается от $5 в месяц — доступно для озвучки 500 000 символов, до 3 000 символов на одну конвертацию. Бизнес-тариф обойдётся в $20 ежемесячно за объём до 1 млн озвученных символов.
Apihost
В этом российском сервисе доступно огромное количество голосов — только в демо-версии их 16. Доступны женские и мужские голоса. Есть настройки, которые позволяют добиться максимально естественного звучания: обозначение ударения и пауз, настройка скорости речи и длины пауз, высоты голоса и даже интонации. Синтезированный голос очень похож на речь живого человека. Результат можно скачать в формате MP3 или WAV.
Владельцы сервиса не запрещают использовать результаты бесплатной озвучки в коммерческих целях, но не дают правовых гарантий. Кроме того, ограничен доступный объём текста для озвучки. На платном тарифе стоимость 1 000 символов варьируется в пределах 0,6 – 6,5 рублей. Есть безлимитный тариф от 5000 ₽/месяц.
Text to Speech Online
Полностью бесплатный онлайн-инструмент, который позволяет конвертировать текст в голос и скачивать результат в MP3. Сервис поддерживает русский язык и предлагает выбор из 23 возможных голосов. Также можно изменить скорость или добавить эмоции в текст.
Речь, синтезированная в Text to Speech Online, звучит с естественной интонацией и правильным произношением. Минус сервиса: максимальный объём для единовременной озвучки — всего 2 000 символов. Поэтому большие тексты придётся озвучивать частями.
Texttospeech.ru
Российский онлайн-синтезатор речи с большим количеством голосов и демо-доступом. Бесплатно можно озвучить до 1 000 символов. Результат скачивается в формате MP3 или WAV. Есть настройки скорости и тона голоса.
В платной версии стоимость озвучки — 1 или 3 рубля за 1 000 символов, за голос «Стандарт» и «Премиум» соответственно. При положительном балансе голоса с пометкой «FREE» можно использовать бесплатно и без ограничений.
VoxWorker
Сервис помогает качественно конвертировать русский текст в речь. При озвучке соблюдается интонация, почти все слова произносятся правильно. Чтобы улучшить результат, можно добавить паузу или ударение, выбрать скорость речи и высоту голоса. Доступны для выбора три женских и два мужских голоса. Результат можно сохранить в файл формата MP3.
В бесплатной версии после регистрации можно озвучивать до 5 000 символов в сутки, причём весь объём можно обработать за один раз. На платном тарифе лимита на дневной объём нет. Максимальная длина одного текста — 10 000 символов, стоимость рассчитывается по факту: 1 000 символов = 1 рубль.
Retell
Сервис конвертирует тексты онлайн-изданий в аудиостатьи. Отличие Retell в том, что он не предназначен для разовой конвертации — синтезатор предлагает потоковую обработку текстов. Сервис быстро подключается к сайту при наличии стандартного RSS-фида. Для озвучки доступны больше 100 голосов на 50 языках. В готовые аудиотексты можно встраивать рекламу. В личном кабинете пользователь может отслеживать статистику прослушиваний.
Судя по тарифам на сайте, конвертация в речь текста до 500 000 символов бесплатна. За $50/месяц можно озвучивать миллион символов, если больше — цена по запросу.
Talk Free для Android
Бесплатное приложение позволяет записать и сразу озвучить текст. Результат сохраняется в формате WAV и доступен для экспорта. Помимо русского, Talk Free поддерживает много других языков.
Через функцию «Поделиться» можно импортировать в сервис веб-страницы или текст из других приложений.
Text to Speech для iOS
Ещё одно мобильное приложение, причём для его работы не требуется интернет. В сервисе доступны 95 голосов на 38 языках. Можно перевести в голос написанный текст или импортировать нужный фрагмент для озвучки. Результат сохраняется на устройстве в виде аудиофайла.
В Text to Speech для iOS можно настроить высоту тона и скорость произношения — и создать речь, максимально приближенную к естественной.
NaturalReader
Синтезатор голоса позволяет читать PDF, DOCX и любые текстовые документы, умеет считывать текст с отсканированных документов, читает с веб-страниц и настольных приложений. Текст можно преобразовать в аудиофайлы, файлы MP3 для Windows или Mac.
Сервис можно использовать в веб-формате, в виде Android или iOS приложения, настольного приложения для Mac или Windows, браузерного расширения. Бесплатные компьютерные версии не позволяют конвертировать файлы — их можно использовать только для чтения вслух. Платная программа переводит текст в голос и сохраняет в формате MP3. Для этого нужно приобрести лицензию стоимостью от $99,50 до $199,50.
Microsoft Word или Google Документы
Если вам нужно просто озвучить текст в личных целях и без преобразования текста в аудиофайл, можно использовать обычный Word или Google Docs.
В Word есть встроенная функция озвучки текста. Для её активации откройте раздел «Параметры» и выберите пункт «Настроить ленту». В левом столбце инструментов «Выбрать команды» кликните на «Все команды» и найдите «Проговорить». Выделите команду и добавьте её.
С правой стороны на панели редактора появится команда «Проговорить».
Теперь выделите нужный фрагмент текста и активируйте прочтение.
В Google Документах потребуется установить специальный плагин. Для этого перейдите в раздел «Расширения», выберите «Дополнения» и «Установить дополнения». Когда откроется окошко Google Workspace Marketplace, через поиск найдите расширение Read Aloud TTS и установите его.
Чтобы Google Docs прочитал текст вслух, выделите нужный фрагмент, кликните «Расширения», затем «Читать вслух ТТС» и «Открыть боковую панель». На открывшейся панели можно выбрать язык, голос, скорость прочтения.
Текст, озвученный в Microsoft Word или Google Document, можно записать на встроенный диктофон мобильного устройства.
