Read Out Loud is a Text-to-Speech (TTS) tool. It reads the text in a PDF aloud, including the text in comments and alternate text descriptions for images, tables, and fillable fields. Text is read based on the order of the page content. With this feature, you can obtain information without viewing the pages, helping to effectively relief eyestrain. It also enables you to view other materials while listening to the content. 

Foxit PDF Editor offers preset visual modes that allow you to change the reading background with a single click, enhancing your reading experience by reducing eye strain and improving readability. To switch the visual modes, click View > Visual Mode, and select Default, Night, Eye Comfort, or Sepia background from the drop-down list as desired.
