menu and choose Read Aloud from the list.
It will invoke the Read Aloud control bar in the header. - Hit on command button on the control bar.
The readout aloud will start and convert the text to speech automatically and you can listen to the content. We also have the controls like Pause/Play, Back, and Forward command buttons.
We can also customize the Voice option to choose the available list of Microsoft Voice. It also offers the option to add the Voice Language if unavailable in the drop-down list.
We can increase or reduce the text-to-speech speed between Fast / Normal / Slow based on our pace.

The Edge browser read aloud feature uses Microsoft AI for converting text to audio output. The read-aloud feature is offered in various voice options and controls and can customize speed.
Microsoft Edge also offers a reading mode known as immersive reader that assists reading and gives a clutter-free experience while consuming content.
