Changing How Adobe Read Aloud Reads Text

[Dinah248014004akx]

I am working in Adobe Acrobat Pro, and I'm learning about tagging pdfs so they can be read by screen readers. I'm using the Adobe read aloud feature, and I'm wondering how I can change how it reads the text in a couple of places in a document.

1. Adobe read aloud reads the year "2024" as "two zero two four." What is the best way for me to get it to read the year as "twenty twenty-four"?

2. Adobe read aloud reads the acronym "ELA" as "ela." Is there any way I can get it to read the letters of the acronym separately as "E L A"?

Thanks for any help you can give!

I've read some other posts about accessibility on here, and some have commented that Adobe read aloud is not the best screen reader. So I've downloaded NVDA so that I can hear how my documents are read by a more highly regarded screen reader.

I wonder why Adobe hasn't put more into developing their screen reader. It seems that developing a solid screen reader for accessibility would be a natural extension of everything they already do.
