Microsoft Edge Read aloud: Now with PDF support

Greetings Insiders,   Many people use the Read aloud feature in Microsoft Edge as a daily driver. It is super convenient to just pop in an earbud and listen to content while doing something else....

Spanish voices doesn't recognize letters with accents, instead of reading them, they skip them.

Example: compilación más reciente = compilacin ms reciente

    JonyElectro We're sorry to hear that, but thank you for the great callout! Just to confirm that it isn't a particular bug, can you please submit detailed feedback and diagnostic data through the browser? (Shift+Alt+I)

     

    In the meantime, I'll bring this to the PDF team's attention.

      I did as soon as i realized it happened, i did also tweet about this to the msedge team about it.

      also thanks for replying 😄

       

      Edit: I forgot to say this, but it only happens with PDFs, read aloud in web pages works correctly.
