Read Aloud

By Cynthia, 1 September, 2026

The AI Assistant’s Read Aloud feature provides a simple, flexible way to listen to PDF content, letting you choose a preferred voice, adjust reading speed, and jump forward or back in 10‑second increments. It’s designed to make long or complex documents easier to follow when you’re multitasking or prefer listening to reading.

To use this feature, follow these steps (based on the AI Assistant within Foxit PDF Editor for Windows):

  1. Open the document in Foxit PDF Editor.

  2. Click AI Assistant on the ribbon and choose Read Aloud to open the dropdown menu.

  3. Choose a reading option from the menu:

  • Read Full Text: Have the entire document read aloud from start to finish.

  • Read From Current Page: Start reading aloud from the current page onward.

  1. After you choose an option, the Reading Bar appears at the top of the document pane. You can set the voice and speed of the reading on the Reading Bar. The bar also includes buttons to play/pause the reading and rewind/fast-forward by 10 seconds. 

  2. You can click the icon on the Reading Bar to close it and stop the reading process.
