Reading experience dyslexics
Hi! I have ADHD and dyslexia. I think it's kind of vital to improve the reading experience at the Acrobat reader. Microsoft has done a good job with the Edge epub reading features, would be nice to have some of these features to improve reading acessibility.

Hi Richit,
Acrobat's Read Out Loud feature doesn't work correctly, so it's not a viable tool for anyone who needs "text to speech" (aka, a screen reader).It lacks full user controls to control the voicing of the content.
It misreads the document, even those that are fully accessible by PDF/UA-1 standards and that are processed correctly by other pro-level screen readers (like JAWS and NVDA).If Adobe would fix Read Out Loud, It would be a life-changing feature for the hundreds of millions of people worldwide who need text-to-speech. We've asked Adobe to correct this for years, but nothing has been fixed.
Please contact Adobe's accessibility team for details (contact me off list and I'll give you a key contact about this).
