I'm running MacOS 26.1 on a M2 Pro MacBookPro I use Hover Text frequently. for the last 4 days when I'm working in a Pages document hover text starts automatically reading at the beginning of the document. Anybody experiencing something similar?
I am not certain what you mean by hover text, but when I select specific text content from a paragraph and then choose Edit > Speech > Start Speaking, it will recite only the selected text and then stop speaking.
Otherwise, a long-standing (years) feature of Pages. where no text is selected, is that a Start Speaking request will start at the beginning of the document and drone on until you stop the speaking request.
Hover Text reads from start of Pages doc on MacBook Pro
