TTS
2 TopicsMicrosoft Edge TTS refuses to read .pdf files
Hi there, [Reposting this here on the suggestion of an 'Independent Advisor' on the Microsoft Community forums.] I think the native MS Edge TTS is one of the best on the market, but it currently fails to initiate when I try and get it to read .pdf documents (even when opened in the browser and when the text is super-clear so OCR should be working). I have done everything from clearing my cache to reinstalling MS Edge and not importing anything or signing in, so that it's a completely fresh version, but the problem persists. I have also tried on Beta, Developer and Canary as well, with no luck. After a quick search online, I can see I'm not the only one with this problem - are there any fixes on the horizon? This is a real challenge from an accessibility standpoint. Kind Regards, Kristian349Views0likes0CommentsEpub reader for Edge
Will an epub reader be added for this version of Edge that is based on chromium? I ask this because it appears that support for reading epub books will be dropped from the original version of edge which makes me concerned that epub reading support will not be added to this version of edge that is based on chromium. As a person who is visually impaired, I rely on the read aloud feature for epub books on the original version of edge to read books. If there are no plans to add epub reading to this version of edge, is there an epub reader that will be made available that has text to speech functionality available or will Microsoft make one available?Solved1.6KViews6likes1Comment
