At first I expected that you may use some proprietary screenreader 
software, e.g. some plugin to Adobe Reader.

Could you, please, provide a tiny example of your Org file with just a 
couple of lines of text and with settings relevant to export? It would 
be helpful to get an example of minimal LaTeX file that allows to 
generate a PDF file that has metadata that you expect to get and the PDF 
file or at least output of pdfinfo, pdffonts.

There are still enough of uncertainties:
- What TeX engine do you use? E.g. for PdfLaTeX it may be necessary to 
add \usepackage{cmap} immediately after \documentclass. Unicode engines 
like LuaTeX likely do not require such trick.
- Is there a reason why you are using polyglossia? Juan Manuel on this 
list says that (if I have got it right) babel is superior nowadays.
- There may be some LaTeX-related specifics for particular language 
after all.
