No French reading voice for PDF

What we are trying to do:

We want to use the Read Out Loud function in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro to listen to a PDF in French. We are using the voice engine to verify that the words are spoken correctly.

What we have tried:

We have tried Read Out Loud in the following versions of Adobe:

•             Adobe Acrobat Pro XI

•             Adobe Reader Multilingual XI

•             Adobe Reader DC

Each version reads an English document with an English voice. With a French document the document is either read with an English voice, or not at all.

What is needed so that we can listen to a French document in a French voice?

Hi ,

Do you have the french version of Reader/Acrobat?

Try reinstalling Reader and under the language field,choose French and then see if you are able to work.

Thank you Sukrit

We downloaded the French version of adobe acrobat and it didn’t work….

In the English version, selecting the French reading voice doesn’t work (will not read it properly)

Text to speech is a system function. DId you select a suitable voice in the Speech Control panel?

Thanks MVP

In Adobe Pro, under Preferences-Reading, there is the option to change the voice. Changing to some voices ( like VW Kate), reads in English, but when I select any of the French-Standard: or French-Canadian: voices nothing in the document is read.

• I do not know why these voices are appearing when they are not available to read.
