How to change reading voice?

  • January 24, 2018

When I open a scan image of a book text, and use the OCR to scan the page, I want Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to read the text to me.

My Windows is set to the Danish language, and my Acrobat is downloaded in the Danish version, but the reading voice in Acrobat only reads in English, not Danish.

How do I change the reading voice from English to Danish, so I can listen to my Danish OCR text in Danish?

    Hi JanAndreasen,

    We apologize for the delay in response to your query.

    Could you please confirm the exact language of the document you are working on? Is that document you are working on is also in the Danish language?

    Read Out Loud automatic picks the default language of the system and its "Narrator" voice. You need to check what all option do you get the in System Narrator settings.

    Windows>Settings>Ease of Access >Narrator > Choose a Voice

    ​and see the options given there.

    Try that and let us know if it doesn't work.

    Regards,

    Akanchha

    To change the voice for Macs it is under System Preferences-->Accessiblity-->Spoken Content-->System Voice, you can change the options and also download other voices. You can change the Speaking Rate as well.

      I have searched both Adobe and Microsoft forums, currently the same is happening with French and Greek as well.
      There is no known resolution to this as of now but our forums are a great place to find answers. Try posting your question here: https://community.adobe.com/
      That way an expert will work on it and then respond to you and you will be notified
      From your agent on how to get rid of English voice. I have just Swedish on my working PC but pdf is read in English. I contacted IT support for our municipality. They do not know what to do. They serve 23 000 workers. They think it is bug and Adobe must be repeared.
