Hi, I'm Ric.
Here’s how you can set the proofing language in Word so it recognizes your text as French:
- Open your Word document.
- Select the text you want (or press Ctrl+A to select all).
- Go to the Review tab on the ribbon.
- Click Language > Set Proofing Language.
- In the list, choose French (France) or the specific French variant you need.
- Click Set As Default if you want Word to always use French in future documents.
- Press OK to confirm.

Update or change the French text-to-speech (TTS) voice in Windows:
Press Windows key + I to open Settings.
Go to Time & Language > Speech.
Under Manage voices, click Add voices.
Scroll the list, find French (France) (or another French variant like French (Canada)), and click Add.
Once installed, go back to the Voices section and choose the new French voice as your Default voice.
- You can also adjust the voice speed here to improve clarity.
