Hi!

I have been working in Adobe reader pro and are trying to get it read out loud with the tool in adobe for this. The documents settings are in swedish, the settings in options for reading and for language are in swedish but the readers voice is set on "Microsoft zira desktop- English (united states)" and i cant change this setting, is it possible to get the document read in the swedish language at all? The language installed on my computer (windows 10) are also swedish and it says that it has the "text to speech"-function installed.

Thankful for answers!

    You need to install the Read Out Loud engine for Swedish to be able to do it.

    See here how to do that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/download-languages-and-voices-for-immersive-reader-read-mode-and-read-aloud-4c83a8d8-7486-42f7-8e46-2b0fdf753130

    The language is correct in every setting, both in acrobat and windows but the voice that reads in acrobat is wrong and i can't change it.

    Strange. Did you make sure to restart Acrobat after installing the language?

    Also, what's the exact version number of the application (You can find it out by going to Help - About Adobe Acrobat)? What's your OS version?
