Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing the details.
I understand you’re unable to download additional accents in the Read Aloud feature on your Samsung A21 running Android 12. Please note that the availability of different accents and voices in the Read Aloud tab depends on the text-to-speech (TTS) engine installed on your device — not directly on the Acrobat app itself.
Here are a few steps you can try:
- Go to your device Settings > Accessibility > Talk Back > Settings > Text-to-speech > Preferred Engine.
- Verify which TTS engine is selected (e.g., Google Text-to-Speech or Samsung TTS).
- Tap the gear icon next to it and look for an option to download additional voices or accents.
Update or reinstall your TTS engine:
- Make sure your Google Text-to-Speech or Samsung TTS app is updated to the latest version from the Play Store.
- If the voices still don’t appear, try clearing the app cache and restarting your phone.
Recheck in Acrobat Reader:
Once you’ve downloaded the new voices, open Acrobat Reader > Read Aloud tab, and check if the additional accents are now available.

Thanks for your help and response.
I've been able to resolve it. It had to do with the power saving mode. When it was turned on, for some reason, the download failed but it works when its turned off. So Ive been able to download more accents.
Thank you so much.
