230 Eliminating Errors with Text to Speech
1. Select the cells in the worksheet whose contents you want read aloud
by Text to Speech.
If you want to check a table of data, simply position the cell cursor in the first cell, and Excel will then automatically select the entire table when you click the Speak Cells button.
2. Click the Speak Cells button to have your Windows device begin read- ing back the entries in the selected cells.
The Text to Speech feature reads the contents of each cell in the cell selection by first reading down each column and then across the rows.
3. To pause the Text to Speech feature when you locate a discrepancy between what you’re reading and what you’re hearing, click the Speak Cells - Stop Speaking Cells button.
Keep in mind that you can click the Speak Cells on Enter button to have your computer speak each new entry that you make as you complete it by press- ing the Enter key. Excel also moves the cell cursor down one row.
