Microsoft Edge can now read web content with 24 different voice styles
Builds for Microsoft Edge Chromium Dev and Canary are now available with Microsoft ability to read selected text / text on a web page with 24 different voice styles. It is known that text reading is one of the most popular accessibility features on today's web browser platforms, including Microsoft Edge Chromium. Therefore, it is not difficult for Microsoft to take care of this situation.

In addition, the voice has been refined and added by Microsoft, based on a combination of artificial intelligence and cloud platform, giving it a much more natural feel than previous versions.
Microsoft has also ported Read Aloud to new Microsoft Edge, but now you will be allowed to choose from 24 voices freely, including various female and male voices, often found in some countries, regions and territories such as China, Japan, England, France, Germany and Mexico.

Select the type of reading you want to hear: Neural, Standard, 24kbs
These new voices are mostly cloud-based and have 3 main types; Standard, 24kbs, and Neural. The 24kbps voice style possesses a fairly high bitrate, making the sound more clear, while in the 'Neural' option, the voices will be made based on AI, giving the sound quality much more natural.
Microsoft describes AI-based voice and their cloud as follows:
- Neural voices: Supported by deep neural networks, these voices are considered the most natural today.
- Standard voices : These are mostly standard online voices, provided by Microsoft Cognitive Services.
- 24kbs voices : Also the standard online voices, provided by Microsoft Cognitive Services, but possessing higher bitrates give better sound quality, clearer listening, and of course cost more network capacity. .
Through actual testing, 24kbs options possess the highest quality, very well-defined words and pronunciation, but the reading is not natural, still giving the feeling of 'robot-like'. On the other hand, Neural options are not 'round and clear', but they offer a more natural feel. At first you may not realize that it is a synthesized voice, made by machine.
