Sorry for being so dense, but where is the gear icon?

dont select text. right click in the viewer, choose read aloud, then you will get a bar with the gears icon. There you can configure the voice to use. Once you configure it, you will be able to use the select and speak method instead and it will use the newly configured voice.

Thanks for your prompt response. When I right-click in the viewer and select "Read aloud", the toolbar you mentioned does popup, as seen the attached screenshot. However, it is not clickable, or accessible at all, because of the error message seen. I've tried three times, and each time, a random word is shown as selected in blue, and that error message locks the viewer. I say "locks" because the only way to close the viewer is "end process" in Task Manager - Win 10 64 Pro Version 20H2

try it on a book with english text, and open a bug report and attach the file causing this error.

It works fine on books in English, no errors at all. The attached screenshots do show an interesting discrepancy, though. Earlier today I uninstalled Microsoft Heami, as I have no need of Korean TTS. I installed several others, and the screenshot of my Win 10 Settings shows them all. That list does not match the list shown in the "Configure Read Aloud" box.

I think I'm going to take this as a sign that I shouldn't be lazy, and just read my non-L1 books myself, not expect the machine to do it for me. Thank you very much for your patient efforts to help, very much appreciated.

Thank you! Sorry to be a nuisance, but how do I switch voices? I have books in Hindi, French and Italian that I would love to have a machine reader narrate for me as I read along. I have the MS voices downloaded, how do I use them in the viewer?
Start Read out-loud, then a tool bar appears. Select the gear (configure icon)

I tried it. To be sure I did not miss a step when posting
And I did not use Highlight mode.

Had you read all the posts made prior to yours, you would have seen that I had already been given the advice you posted, and that it did not work.
