Hello Jim!

Please include in the next version:

A shortcut key to stop reading in the Word extension.

So that I can use, for example, F3 to start reading and F4 to stop reading.

Thank you, success!

We don't have a 'stop' shortcut available in the Word extension because you can configure a system wide hotkey in TextAloud that will work as a stop button whenever TextAloud is speaking, regardless of how speaking was started. In the TextAloud application, click Control Center -> Settings, and in the left panel, expand the item "Shortcuts and Hotkeys". Under Shortcuts and Hotkeys, select Hotkey Setup, and you can configure a system wide hotkey to stop speaking.

Let me know if you need help
