I would like to have the French voice available for read out loud. If I check my windows speech (Manage Voices) I can see the French voice installed and I`ve already selected the Microsoft Claude (French) as my default. But when I access the reading configuration on my Adobe Pro, I`m just seeing the english voices available Windows SpeechWindows SpeechAdobe Pro confAdobe Pro conf

Is it possible to change that?

Many Thanks!!

The problem was solved after I installed the voice package French (France). I was installing the French (Canada) and it seems Adobe is not compatible with this one.

Hi,

I believe you have to install the text-to-speech and display language package when you are installing a language on your system. Once you have installed it, the option will appear in the reading preference dropdown. If required, reboot the system once after installation.

 

Please confirm if this resolves the issue for you.

 

Thanks

Rachit

Dear Rachit,

i have installed the text-to-speech and Display language pack Hindi,  in Win 10 Pro ( and rebooted )  but the drop down is not appearing for Hindi voice [ even after a pdf file in Hindi is opened ]  in Read Out Loud Options  of  Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

Please advise on how to make it available manually.  

suggestion : there should be an automatically tracing and enabling option in Adobe ARDC itself  i.e. by default, for all the language packs installed in windows.

 

Is there is any additional  font file *.otf ,  to be added  in 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat Reader DC\Resource\Font   

 

or are there more Language settings required....

Hi  Rachit,

 

I have the same issue as this one but no one has replied in this thread --> https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-reader/add-read-out-loud-voice-dutch/m-p/11988085/thread-id/7...

 

Can you please help us?

We have the voices installed in Windows and even installed the language for Acrobat, but the reading language is only the 2 English voices.

Thank you.

I have the same problem for Dutch. I cannot choose the Dutch voice of my microsoft system on Acrobat pro DC. Very frustrating. I have to listen to an American women.

Try this:

Open a powershell script as administrator and type/paste the following:

$sourcePath = 'HKLM:\software\Microsoft\Speech_OneCore\Voices\Tokens' #Where the OneCore voices live
$destinationPath = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens' #For 64-bit apps
$destinationPath2 = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\SPEECH\Voices\Tokens' #For 32-bit apps
cd $destinationPath
$listVoices = Get-ChildItem $sourcePath
foreach($voice in $listVoices)
{
$source = $voice.PSPath #Get the path of this voices key
copy -Path $source -Destination $destinationPath -Recurse
copy -Path $source -Destination $destinationPath2 -Recurse
}

It solved the problem for me (also Dutch). If you download a new language in the Windows settings rerun the script. Huge thanks to https://github.com/hiepxanh for finding this solution originally.

Hi Tim, that's interesting. Only problem now is, that many people do not know how to 'open a powershell script as administrator' and some will not even have the faintest idea what you are talking about. Would you mind telling us noobs how that works? 😉
