Hello Gretaking,

We're sorry for the delayed response and inconvenience caused. What is the error message you are getting while using the Read Out Loud feature in Adobe Reader? Are there any specific error codes or messages?

To enable the Read Out Loud, navigate to View in Adobe Reader>Reader Out Loud>Activate Read Out Loud. Once it's activated, you can choose the options to Read the current page or the Read to End of the Document from View menu>Read out Loud.

Make sure that you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed, check for any pending updates of Adobe Reader from help>check for updates, reboot the machine after updating Adobe Reader.

Is Read out Loud is not working in one specific PDF? Have you tried with other PDFs?

Is it a Mac or Windows machine and what is the version of the OS installed? What is the dot version of Adobe Reader installed? To identify refer to Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

You may try resetting the Adobe Reader's Preferences once and reboot the machine and see if this brings any difference. To reset the Preferences, please refer to the steps in the article How to reset Acrobat Preference settings to default.

Let us know how it goes and share your observation.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.

I have the same issue with Read Aloud. How do I set it up on MAC? I have Acrobat Pro. 2024. I need to use the Alt-Esc command to read the selected text.
