How to type text for text-to-speech

In Windows 8 and below you could type any text for the text-to-speech to read, but Windows 10 doesn't seem to let you do that. Is there a way to get this feature back?

This is the dialog for those who don't remember:

Look in control panel\ease of access\speech recognition. In the left side select text to speech and adjust your settings as needed. I hope this helps.

Bit of a long-winded approach, but it definitely works, thanks!
