How to Read a PDF Aloud with Highlighting

FreeTextoSpeech Team Machine translation draft
This translated draft is available for review and is not indexed or included in hreflang until a native-language editor approves it.

Highlighted reading keeps spoken words connected to their place in a document. It helps readers pause, replay and return to a passage without losing context.

Check for extractable text

Try selecting a sentence. A page that behaves like one image is scanned and needs OCR before ordinary speech tools can read it.

Review the import

Remove repeated headers, footers and broken line wraps, then listen with sentence navigation and keyboard controls.

Resume privately

Save a document fingerprint and reading position, not the document body. Choose on-device speech for confidential material.
