Microsoft AI Edge Problem

Microsoft has a cool AI feature called Read aloud that when it's activated makes listening to your emails and documents seem like a breeze. The synthesized voices are indistinguishable from human narrators. It's a pretty cool way to hear the long email and articles while tending to other things.

If you have not tried it yet, I suggest you give it a try but not that it's not perfect and it still has a lot of bugs that are problematic for many. I just hope that that can correct this before users get discouraged from using this feature.
