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....
Reading PDF files in Edge seems to be experiencing some bugs. I have noticed that some are resolved. I'm not sure if the following is by design or is a bug: when I start Read Aloud on a PDF file, the contents of the file are greyed out and only the line and word being read are highlighted. Looks like an immersive reading experience, but I find it extremely distracting and disorienting. Would it be possible to turn this feature off?
Also, would it be possible to jump to a point by double clicking a word in the PDF? That is possible when reading web pages. Great job on that Team! Am loving the Read Aloud features there.
I would like to find the read aloud right click menu item in the same place every time though 🙂 Maybe we can get some control over which order the menu items show?
