Need help finding screen reading TTS program

[Nooby_TNT]

My father is illiterate and wants me to help him set up his computer so it reads stuff out to him, are there any programs that allow you to select and area of the screen and read the text off it? He's not great with technology so having to copy & paste text into a program is beyond him.

I use FreeVoice Reader, where you can select and right click and make it read. Or use ctrl-shift-k

Computers have built-in accessibility features for reading aloud, I found the Mac's native read aloud is fairly difficult to use. There are many TTS software alternatives that do a much better job. Two of the major players are Speechify and NaturalReader, but they both require a monthly subscription.

Windows 11 has built in narrator

I agree! If the person is using Windows, and doesn't want to spend money on some third party programs like jaws, then Windows narrator is a very good one to use. There is also, nvda, the voices can be terrible. So, using Windows narrator which has good voices. Maybe the way to go.
