Read Aloud not working since a few weeks
Hello everyone, I have been using Edge for pdf-files since the beginning and also the read aloud feature. However since a few updates (don't know which started it) read aloud doesn't work anymore...
Hi,
I just tried using Read Aloud online voices on PDFs on Edge Version 87.0.664.60 (Official build) (64-bit) stable, it worked fine, so the problem is not universal, you could take some troubleshooting steps yourself to see if you can get it working again.
- you can try disabling your extensions in case one of them is causing conflict edge://extensions/
- you can reset your custom flags if you've set any of them before: edge://flags/
- you can try resetting Edge settings (make sure sync is enabled): edge://settings/reset
by the way, is your Edge/device being controlled by an organization? if that's the case they might have disabled it.
if none of them fixed the problem,
you can send a feedback using the feedback button on Edge or shortcuts (alt + shift + i), and from the feedback window navigate to Attachments => recreate my problem => start recording, and then you can start read aloud on PDF, make sure it doesn't work, and then stop recording and send your feedback.
hope that helps
