Hi, thank you for the info and many good tips!
Do you know if Narrator can switch automatically from english to french if both languages appear in a text on the same page ?
I’m teaching french to an english speaking student who became blind recently so we are looking for solutions for him.
Thanks again!

Narrator is very much capable of language detection. Please see Chapter 4 from the Narrator user guide. Read text in other languages
When reading text in a different language, Narrator will automatically select the text-to-speech (TTS) voice for that language if it's installed. To learn more about installing additional TTS voices, go to Appendix A: Supported languages and voices. If the TTS voice for a language isn’t installed, Narrator will state the name of the language and read the text using the default TTS voice.
