A text-reading device includes: a visual line direction detection device for a driver; a memory that stores the visual line direction when the driver looks at a display device; a gaze determination device that determines that the driver gazes the display device when a state that the detected visual line direction coincides with the stored visual line direction continues for predetermined time or longer; a voice conversion device that outputs text information of the display device as a voice signal based on an instruction; and a reading control device that inputs the instruction when the driver gazes the display device while the display device displays the text information, and the vehicle starts to move.
