Not working with "SELECT TO SPEAK" accessibility.

"SELECT TO SPEAK" or "TALK-BACK" Accessibility cannot recognize the contents of the PDF.

You cannot select to speak as the pdf is basically being displayed as a bitmap you would need to have access to the individual words to allow this function.

@1stmetro can you tell me how can i achieve that ? and possibly why isn't it working with talkback ?

I believe i have seen posts some time ago where people were looking at this possibility but not been on here for a year or so.

Look at the url link code that may help you in the right direction as the links are clickable which is a start so the text is valid if that makes sense.

I believe you would need to look at https://github.com/barteksc/PdfiumAndroid which will help you.
