Windows 10: Read aloud doesn't recognize the letter F?

I use "read aloud" to listen to my PDF textbook as I read along. The software doesn't seem to be able to understand any word with "fi" or "fl" such as "fish", "specific" "fluctuate", "flow" etc. It's pretty annoying and I was wondering if there is any way to fix it or if anyone else has the same issue.


Thanks!

Text read aloud

My suggestion deals with having text read aloud. I love this feature but the way in which I'm asked if the text should be read aloud sometimes appears to be rude while in the presence of colleagues or relatives. I do not want them to think I'm rudely ignoring
someone when actually I just want the text contents to be private and not read aloud. The phone should simply ask if I want the text to be read aloud and I respond with a simple yes or no. Not "ignore". This gives the impression that I deem the senders text
"unimportant".

 

Read aloud not working

Hi JamieJaura,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Could you please help me with the below questions:

• Are you using the read aloud application from Microsoft store or is it the read aloud feature of the narrator in windows 10?
  
  
• Is the read aloud not working across all the applications in the system?
  

Please refer this article on ‘How
to post a question on Microsoft Community’ and kindly get back to us with more information so that we can help you fix the issue you are facing.



We await your response

How to disable the Read Aloud feature?

We appreciate the comprehensive response. If Narrator is disabled and still the Read Aloud prompt still pops-up, we suggest that you disable any reading feature from the
Ease of Access Center. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Type Control Panel in the search box and press
  Enter.
• In the Control Panel screen, select Small icons from the
  View by: drop-down list.
  
  Note: View by: is located on the upper right side of the screen.
• Select Ease of Access Center.
• Under Make your computer easier to use section, uncheck the following boxes:
  
  Always read this section aloud
  
  Always scan this section
• Once you're done, exit the Control Panel screen and check if the issue persists.

Alternatively, if you're using a mouse pad, access the mouse pad option and disable the feature that allows right-click when mouse pad is double tapped. Refer to the device manufacturer or support site on how to disable this feature.

Update us with the result of the manual configuration.
