This is not a big problem but it would be nice on closing the program to have the mouse cursor focus on the [OK] button. That is, the default button. My mouse is set up to 'snap' to the default button but it doesn't do this in TextAloud. Interestingly, it won't do this in "Notepad" either ...

Jim has pointed out that, in order for the Floating Toolbar to work, text you wish to speak must be selected in the program you wish it to speak from.

I tried this without success. I have sent the "Report A Problem" from within the program beta 28

Yes, that looks fixed. I'm currently running beta 28.

Thanks Jim....you're absolutely right! I missed the [Highlighting Enabled] button. It needs to be selected if you want the speech highlighted. And you're also right about using the [Speak] or [Cursor] or [Selected Text] buttons on the toolbar. I hadn't understood that and now that I do that's fine. ...

Selecting [Extra Large Buttons] from the [View] [Main Toolbar Options] menu, results in captions being hidden or partially visible behind the button image.

It's nice to be able to use 'Speak' in a Word document, however, speech only seems available from the start of the document and it does not start from cursor position. Nor does it highlight the words being spoken.

The floating toolbar is not working for me. I am able to Stop/Pause but that's about it. Changing a voice, while it is speaking from the main window simply stops everything. Also, the 'speak' button on the floating toolbar appears inoperative. Speak has to be started from the main window.
