I use Linux Mint 21.1. I make considerable typing errors when I write but I don’t see them, so it would be helpful if the machine could read out loud my writings back to me. How can I get this to happen?

I would really prefer to not have to go through an extensive set of disability accommodation steps every single time nor hear the computer tell me everything that is happening on the screen, but I will do it if necessary. I’m hoping there’s an app or a LibreOffice button I can push to read only my selected text.

Here’s an example of the accessibility screen reader not being helpful for me: https://imgur.com/7QvU9y4

Edit:

So at the advice of @[email protected], I searched for apps using “text-to-speech” and found an app in the software manager called VoiceGen that seems helpful!

    You could use macOS as your main OS. It’s UNIX. You’ll get anything you could find on Linux.

    I found a few Linux tools looking for “Text To Speech” in DuckDuckGo. Didn’t you find anything useful ?

      Text To Speech

      This!! This is the term I couldn’t come up with. I was searching for “screen reader” and not get anywhere. Thank you!
