The Read Aloud feature (available starting from PDF Architect 9) allows you to convert the text of your document to speech and listen to it.

• Open the View module and click the Read Aloud option.

• Alternatively, open the Edit tab and switch to the Select Text feature, select the text, right-click on it, and choose the Read Selection Aloud option.

• You can adjust the speed, volume, and reading modes, as well as start, pause, and stop reading in the Tool Area that will appear.

• Select the text to be read back to you by clicking on it. The selected parts will be highlighted in red.

There are the following reading modes:

• To the End of the String
• To the End of Current Page
• To the End of the Document

• To change Speed or Volume, move the corresponding sliders.

Also, you can set default options for the Read Aloud feature such as Choose a voice, Default Volume, and Default Speed.

• Click on the gear icon to open the Options.
• Select the Read Aloud tab to configure the settings.
