New Features and Changes

Added Configuration that can Skip Top and Bottom of Page

For some untagged documents, reading can be improved by skipping the header and footer. This can now be achieved with a setting that defines the number of points to ignore from the top/bottom. #8042

Improved Reading

The reading has been improved by changing the playback mechanism to eliminate audio glitches that would sometimes appear near punctuation marks. This should give a smoother reading experience overall. #9249

New Language Support

  • Urdu – Reading and translation
  • Welsh – Translation

Notable Corrections

Images without Alt Text should not be Highlighted

Images without alt texts should not be highlighted since there is nothing to read. They will now no longer be highlighted. #9469
