Guide
Mark any text in a Word document, press F8, and CaptRead reads it out loud. The app runs next to Word, so there is nothing to install inside Word and no document to upload.
How It Works
Mark the passage you want to hear, from one sentence to several pages.
Press F8. CaptRead starts reading straight away.
Press F8 again to stop. Marking new text and pressing F8 starts over from there.
Why It Helps
Hearing a text while your eyes follow it makes mistakes easier to catch in your own writing.
With Edge voices, CaptRead lights up each word as it is spoken, so it is easy to keep your place in a long document.
The reading features are free to use, and no account is needed to use the app.
Questions
No. CaptRead is a separate Windows app. It reads whatever text you mark, in Word or in almost any other Windows program.
It reads any text you can mark on screen, so it works with .doc and .docx files in Word and with documents open in a browser.
The reading features are free to use. Themes are an optional extra.
