Is there a copyright issue with the Read Aloud feature in Microsoft Edge?

If I use the Read Aloud feature in Microsoft Edge to dub a personal video and upload it to a video site (e.g., YouTube) for monetization, will I be liable for copyright? Does Microsoft allow individuals or business organizations the freedom to use voice in the Read Aloud feature?

Hi, my name is Neil, I'm an independent adviser and a Windows 10 user like you.

I will try and help you with your question.

I can find no online resource with regards to copyright issues using the Read Aloud feature in Edge in YouTube videos.

It would be impossible to copyright a single word said by someone or by someones voice. So copyright more pertains to the material being read out than to a word or series of words strung together said by a voice.

There are many YouTube videos that use the Read Aloud feature for narration without any issues.

I think you will only run into copyright issues if the content of your videos is copyrighted and not because of the read aloud voice.

Since you intend to dub a personal video, then i think you will be fine to use it, even if your video is monetised.

I hope this helps.
