Windows 10: Read Aloud

Hi,

I couldn't use the read aloud feature for pdfs I have already in my system. It is frustrating 'cause that's the most important feature I use in Microsoft Edge and this new version is not letting me use it. Please, help.

Read aloud not recognizing

i have just tried read aloud in the beta version of Edge (due for release in January 2020) to read this thread.

it seems to pronounce 'different' and 'specific' correctly (although read aloud is pronounced red aloud)

if you want to try it before launch, you can join the Edge insider program.

Of course there are risks with running beta software and Microsoft ask that you send feedback about any issues (or suggestions) that you have.

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".

Hi chouchouxG

i suggest you use the feedback hub (winkey+F) to let the development team know about this issue, hopefully they will fix it quickly.

in the meantime, when read aloud is on, click the person icon on the read aloud toolbar to adjust the voice and/or the speed to see if that makes a difference.
