how to I use narrator?

Answer 3

Yes. Microsoft learning content and courses can be listened to using the same text-to-speech and accessibility tools that read other text on the device.

For web-based Microsoft Learn courses opened in a browser on Windows or macOS, use one of these options:

1. Read Aloud in Word (for downloaded content)
   If course content is downloaded or copied into Word, it can be read using:
   • Read Aloud – reads all or part of the document.
   • Immersive Reader – provides additional tools to improve reading fluency and comprehension.
   • Speak (Windows only) – reads only selected text.
     These features use the device’s text-to-speech capability to play back written text as spoken words.
2. Platform screen readers and speech tools
   • Narrator (Windows) – reads UI elements and page text, including course pages in the browser.
   • Speech (macOS) – when configured in macOS Speech preferences, selected text from a course page can be read aloud via a keyboard shortcut.

These tools allow listening to course text while reading along or multitasking, similar to listening to Word documents.
