PDF READ ALOUD BUTTON
MYJV_111 We appreciate you reaching out. We recently added this functionality back into the PDF experience, so not all channels have it yet. Here's a screenshot:
As TheShaunSaw asked, it would be great to know what version you're using. (You can find that here: edge://settings/help).

I also has the canary version 85.0.544.0 (Offizielles Build) canary (64-Bit) and this one has got the READ ALOUD button, but it doesnt work like before the update. (microsoft explorer).
I cant choose row I want to read.
MYJV_111 Ok, great, I'm glad to hear that you have it in Canary. And good news: we do have that functionality!
To read aloud from a specific point, please do the following:
- Open the Read aloud feature
- Pause the audio
- Highlight the place in the PDF that you'd like Read aloud to start
- Right-click to open the context menu
- Select "Continue to read aloud from here"
Or if you'd like to choose the place without pausing and highlighting, you can:
- Open the Read aloud feature
- While it's playing, skip paragraphs with "|<" and ">|" from the address bar or the context menu
Hopefully that helps! If this still doesn't meet your use-case, let me know and I'll loop in our PDF team.

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft EdgeDeleted Thank You! I will try this.
But I really want the old reader again, that was really amazing. I could read long texts with that without any problems.
So please tell me, what I can do in Mircrosoft edge to change it. I have the Version 83.0.478.45.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MYJV_111 Thanks for the clarification. We're actively working on improving the PDF experience, so our team would love to hear your feedback. It would be great if you can head over to this post and comment with the specific changes that would help make the new read aloud experience more aligned with the previous one for you.
