Press CtrlShiftE and draw a box round any of it to hear it read aloud.

Kingdom management is a reading job

Players on the Steam forums describe the voice acting as covering party banter, first meetings with major characters and the big story conversations, while incidental dialogue and side quests are mostly text.

Running your barony adds more: kingdom events and their outcomes, illustrated book events, the journal, encyclopedia-linked tooltips, and the spell and feat descriptions at level-up.

Read kingdom events with one key

If you keep checking the same panel, like the list of kingdom events, save it as a region. Saved regions read with one key.

For a tooltip, a feat or a book page, press Ctrl+Shift+E and draw a box round it.

Compared with the Kingmaker SpeechMod

Credit where it's due: Osmodium's free Kingmaker SpeechMod adds text to speech in most places in the game using your system's text-to-speech voices, and installs through Unity Mod Manager. There is also a More Voice Lines mod that adds AI-generated lines for the companion Jaethal.

Corvo Reader needs no mod manager, uses natural AI voices, and works the same in your other games.
