Hey, I just tried setting Tarik to my default voice. Tariq can’t read the english, and he reads what’s suppose to be the Arabic the same way Alex did, except with a thick Arabic accent LOL. No fix. Could there be an issue in the composition of the PDF? Why would it appear visually as clear Arabic but the actual text is a strange combination of non Arabic letters and symbols… Best,
