Hello,
I installed microsoft hortense desktop voice in the speech recognition subject of the W10 config panel.
I can hear the french voice when asking for testing the voice. No problem with the narrator too.
On the other hand, it produces no sound out when I ask for reading a pdf document by the menu item Display / Audio reading / Read only this page.
However, I previously configured the voice to use on "Microsoft Hortense desktop" by the menu item Edit / Preferences, and activated the audio reading.
It works fine when reading an english pdf document with the voice Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (US).
I use the Acrobat Reader Dc version 2017 - 2017.009.20044.
Any help would be appreciated.
Annie B.
Hi Annie B,
Sorry for the delay in response.
As per the issue description mentioned above, you have installed a desktop voice in French but that is not working when reading a pdf document in Adobe Reader, is that correct?
Could you please try disabling Protected Mode and see if that works?
Launch Reader>click Edit>Preferences>Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck the box Enable Protected Mode at startup>click OK>relaunch Reader and try again.
Keep us posted with the results.

Also worked for me, sort of. Only one of the non-English voices shows up (I have like 8 installed, for various "French" alternatives, different people/voices for Canada and France, etc). How do I get the others to appear?

Hi Juan,
Try following steps to change the voice speed:
Launch Reader>click Edit>Preferences
Under Categories>Reading>uncheck Use default speech attributes and type any value between 150-650 under "Words Per Minute"
