    Make Speak Cells TTS feature read in Spanish.

    I found some VB code online that let me do a macro for the same functionality. Thanks Everyone for looking at the thread. Matt.

    it persists in reading/speaking all text in English.
    Is the text in the cells in Spanish?

    Yes, the text itself in the cells is in Spanish.

    So it reads those in Spanish (per force), but it reads numbers in English?

    It will read/say "imperfecto" as "im-PER-fect-o", "intentaba" as "in-TENT-a-ba", "intentarás" as "in-TENT-a-ras", and so on. All in an English pronunciation.
    Thereby ruining any usefulness of the Speak Cells function for Spanish text. No one will recognize "in-TENT-a-ras" as "intentarás" (you/familiar will try).
    Yes, it will say all numbers in English.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Dunno, Matt. Maybe someone else has a suggestion.

    Hi shg,
    Thanks for checking. I'm stumped as well. I tried replicating the problem in MS Word, just to see if the issue is application-specific, and the same problem occurs. Strange. There must be a straight forward way to do this. Probably something at the OS level. But . . I have not been able to get it to work.
    Best,
    Matt

    OK. I think this is solved now. I could not come up with a solution for the Excel app itself. But I found some VBA code online that allowed me to do a macro that pronounces the Spanish text in Spanish.
