How to Enable PDF Read Aloud Features on Windows
Enabling the read-aloud feature on PDF Reader Pro on Windows will transform your reading experience. This feature reads your PDFs aloud, perfect for multitaskers and those seeking a break from screen time. Make information consumption effortless and accessible.
Step 1: Let's get started
Open up your PDF in PDF Reader Pro. Look for the TTS button on the left sidebar to bring up the TTS controls. It's your gateway to hearing your PDF out loud.
Step 2: Hit play
See that Play button in the TTS pop-up? Give it a click, and let your PDF start speaking to you. It's like having your own personal narrator.
Step 3: Flip through pages
Want to skip around? Use the Previous and Next Page buttons to navigate. If you're more of a 'set it and forget it' person, tick the Continuous Reading option, and it'll do the flipping for you.
Step 4: Make it yours
Dive into the Language settings to pick a voice that you enjoy listening to. Everyone has a preference, and this is where you can find yours.
Step 5: Your pace, your choice
Use the Speed slider to adjust how fast or slow you'd like the reading. Whether you're a speed demon or a leisurely listener, you've got control.
Step 6: Taking a break
Need to pause? Just click the Pause button. When you're ready to move on, simply click anywhere outside the TTS window to say goodbye to the narration.
How to Enable PDF Read Aloud Features on Mac
Elevate your PDF interaction on Mac through PDF Reader Pro's read-aloud functionality. Follow these easy steps to engage with your PDFs audibly and step into a world where content speaks to you.
Step 1: Kick-off
Open your document in PDF Reader Pro and click the TTS icon on the left. This is where the magic starts, and your PDF begins to talk!
Step 2: Press play
Look for the Play button within the TTS dashboard and click it to start the audio version of your document. It's story time, but with your PDFs.
Step 3: Page navigation
Use the Previous and Next buttons if you want to manually move through your document. Or, go for the Continuous Reading option for an effortless listening experience where the pages turn themselves.
Step 4: Customize the voice
Head over to the Language options to select a voice that sounds pleasant to you. It's like choosing the right audiobook narrator for your PDF.
Step 5: Adjust the speed
With the Speed control, you're the DJ of your PDF's reading speed. Slow it down to soak it all in, or speed it up to zip through.
Step 6: Pause and exit
Need to pause the narration? Just hit the Pause icon. Done listening? Click anywhere outside the TTS dialogue box to exit the feature.
These steps are designed to help you quickly start using the read-aloud feature in PDF Reader Pro on both Windows and Mac platforms. However, if you encounter any issues or if the interface has been significantly updated in a newer version, I recommend consulting the PDF Reader Pro help documentation or support services for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
