There is currently not a way to do this. Its a good idea and we'll add to the list to be looked at in a future release.

Currently if you right click a file that TextAloud supports, the popup menu displayed should contain an entry labeled "Open with TextAloud". You can also drag files from Windows Explorer to the TextAloud main window. There is option in TextAloud Settings to speak new articles automatically that may help, the option is a checkbox labeled "Speak New Articles Automatically"

Let me know if there is anything else I can help with

Hi guys

TextAloud 4.0.69 can't directly associate itself with double-clicking on a txt file to automatically speak it.Free Fire

We don't know of any issues with the option to speak new articles automatically. If you happen to be using an older version of TextAloud, try updating to the current version, 4.0.69 from our download page https://nextup.com/download.html

If that doesn't help please give me steps on how to duplicate the issue if you can. It may have something to do with exactly how you're creating new articles.
