Re: PDF viewers used by screen reader users

Hi Birkir,

I'm happy to hear you are finding the presentation of PDF documents in
Chrome more accessible. Is this the Chrome PDF add-on you are using?

I ask because I find the latency from keypress to when the TTS engine starts
to talk (I'm using Eloquence) is significant enough that I have to use the
Adobe Reader application on my Windows 10 machine so I don't get frustrated
with the latency while viewing PDF's in Chrome.

Are you experiencing any latency?

Thanks for your thoughts!
David
