text to speech

Daniel Brown · 2025-07-06T20:48:55+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

something changed so that I am unable to hear text to speech on the program that has on one side and ESV Bible on the other. I use the ctrl r to hear it. It works on the Truth for Today but not on the Bible side. I am not sure what changed, to cause that. Please help if possible. God Bless You.

The Lord showed me the problem. I did not have it on SYSTEM NARRATOR, when I pressed Ctrl R. Thank You for your help.

Welcome Daniel,

CTRL+R should work on most books (in Windows).
Have you tried selecting Read Aloud from the Panel Menu or Tools > Read Aloud if you have the new resource toolbar?

Does "Bible side" mean that Read Aloud does not work for bibles?

Daniel Brown

Thank you for your help. It does not read the Bible on either side.

Dave Hooton

Some more detail would be appreciated as I do not understand "on either side".
Does CTRL+R work for books other than bibles?

Daniel Brown

I read through the Bible every 2 years. There are different panels with other choices.

Daniel Brown

how can I show you a screen shot of the problem?

Now you are talking! See this wiki article - “Windows key” + “Shift” + “S” is best in Windows. Paste it into your comment as there is no need to save and upload it.

Please explain these.

Otherwise, the screenshot does not show reading progress (below) for the ESV, so there is no text-to-speech?.

Does this happen with other bibles ?

It is not part of your screenshot, so where did these two lines of text appear?

I would appreciate answers to my other questions if I am to continue to help (please review ALL my comments).

Normally, When I press ctrl R it will start reading the text. It does not read other Bibles. I have tried switching to the other side, but it doesn't help.
