Updated to Version 2.5.4 on 7th February 2025. All existing users will be eligible to receive this update with no charge. Version 2.5.4 includes some major additions as follows.
1. Addition of Ambient Balance function. Readable includes a selection of sensory ambient sounds, to help with focus. These can be selected on the new Ambient tab in Readable Settings. We have engineered the Readable audio controls so that Readable can speak text content with the chosen voices, and the ambient sound is reduced whilst text speaking happens. The user can set the ambient sound levels and also the level whilst text to speech is happening.
2. The Readable Microphone button (on the main toolbar) now links to the recent Windows 11 Voice Access offline speech dictation tool. Voice Access requires Windows 11 22H2 or later. On a PC prior to 22H2 the Readable Microphone button takes the user to Windows speech settings. We find Voice Access to be a highly accurate and responsive, offline speech dictation/voice typing tool. It also contains many PC voice commands including the mouse grid.
3.Readable Settings> Speech now includes a “Voice Echo” option. When selected, Readable will echo any phrase dictated into your PC. This allows you to confirm the accuracy of the recognised text, and is a method for increasing confidence using speech dictation. The Voice Echo function is tested with Windows 11 Voice Access and Dragon Pro. It may well work with other speech dictation tools.
4.Readable now provides additional text to speech support for Adobe Acrobat Reader. When Readable is running, and a PDF is opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader, an accessibility check will be quickly performed. Then accessible text under the mouse will be spoken by Readable, when pressing the CTRL key to start speech. Also, the Readable “select text with the mouse” will speak. All speech is using the new Natural Voices, and the Readable underline highlight will function at a block/paragraph level. Work continues to improve accessibility to Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader with Readable.
5. Since Readable V2, there is an option to connect to the Microsoft Natural Voices in the cloud. This is activated through the “Readable Editor” program and is turned off by default. There are over 400 voices, so the list is long. Readable V2.5.4 has an updated Voice Settings panel (Settings>Voice) that groups the voices into the three; Offline voices, Multilingual Online Voices and Single language “Cloud online” voices. The online voices are grouped into language, with the language of the Windows operating system listed first. For example, on an English Windows PC, the English voices will feature at the top of the “Cloud online”. We continue to offer the Natural Voice online voice access as an experimental feature, to offer many more dialects and voices. If you do not require the possible connection to the Microsoft cloud voices, we suggest using the Readable Secure Lockdown installer, available as an .msi with no additional cost
6. Minor update – Readable Settings screen now follows the PC accessibility>Text size setting (e.g.150%).
See the full updated Readable Help file online for full details.

3. Microsoft Cloud Natural voices experimental feature updated.
