Use Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is another great tool that can read a PDF file to you. Simply enable the narrator feature on Word, select the paragraphs to read and hit play.

However, this only works if you have Microsoft Word open, and the voice isn't as natural as other dedicated text to speech apps.
If the narrator button isn't showing. Please do the following to enable it:
Hit the drop down arrow above the main menu bar and select "More Comamnds"

Add "Speak" to the Quick Access Toolbar

Descript AI
