PDF READ ALOUD BUTTON
Heyy,
I have a big problem! In the past I could use the button READ ALOUD when I opened a PDF document in my explorer.
Yesterday I had an Update from Mircrosoft EDGE and I lost the READ ALOUD BUTTON. I cant find it anymore. It always was in the same task like the +, -, save and so on.
Thank you for your help!
Best Regards.

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.

Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider Community!
Can you please tell which version and channel of Microsoft Edge you are using?
I would also recommend you to send feedback through the in-app feedback tool(Alt+Shift+I) in Microsoft Edge with the screenshot and the diagnostics attached as it would help the PDF team to resolve your issue.
