According to Microsoft the Outlook New for Windows (i.e. the replacement for Microsoft Mail, Calendar and Contacts apps in Windows, not the full Outlook client in Office 365 or Office 2026) does not support read aloud.

Microsoft states users should use the Windows 11 Narrator feature instead.

Is it possible to use a program that can read emails through the new outlook app. Would any of these programs through the Microsoft store work to read emails in the new outlook app.

thanks

Can someone explain to me how do I go about setting up the microsoft windows Narrator for the new outlook app. I have the free outlook app.

If this is possible it would be nice because I have optic nerve damage and it is sometimes difficult for me to read really small print in emails.

Thanks

The link in my post should take you step by step through enabling Narrator, does that not work?
