When will Zotero be able to read aloud its documents?

I enjoyed using Zotero to read articles, and it would be great to have Zotero read documents (at different speeds).

At least on macOS it's possible select text and press Option-Escape to read the selected text loud. Something similar should be possible on other operating systems.

Thanks, strangely it does not work for me (I use Mac as well). There is no notification or sound when I press Option and Escape. Do you know the reason why?

Check System Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → "Speak selection" to see if the feature is enabled, and click (i) to check the shortcut key assigned.

Thanks, I am using the most up-to-date Mac version, but I did not see Accessibility in either the general or advanced settings, is this for Windows?

@GubingWang macOS System Settings, not Zotero Settings.

@dstillman, I can do this on the zotero app but on my mac, it doesn't happen that way.
