Adobe Reader X Read Out Loud Problem

I had the previous version of Adobe Reader, and it had a problem. About ten seconds after I opened it, it would pop-up a error window and crash.
Naturally, I uninstalled and then installed Adobe Reader X, which looks great, but when I tell him to read out loud something, it scrolls up to the top of the page\document, as if trying to read it, but won't play a sound. It moved down a single line, and then up again, and just kept on.
I tryed it on several different documents, with different fonts, all supported, and to no good.
I work a lot with Adobe Reader and PDFs, and would like to get a quick answer.
Looking forward for an answer,

Same for me. Adobe Reader 10, no updates, no change after uninstall/reinstall. I am using Windows 7 and Microsoft narrator voices work in other applications. Even after copying text to Word, verifying that it is letter by letter typed and choosing a recommended font, then saving as a .pdf and reopening in Adobe Reader X.It also does not matter if I select the text or not.
Gives me the option to "activate" with all other options greyed out. When activated, the other options become available but there is no voice. If I choose "read to end of document" Adobe Reader crashes.

    Hey mdm30!
    There is a feature in iOS 7 called VoiceOver that can accomplish the action you desire, and here is a link with more information about that feature:

  • Voyager opens and reads text messages out loud

    My daughter's Voyager has started opening her text messages automatically when they are received, and then it proceeds to read the message out loud.  She can't figure out how to stop this from happening!  Any help in stopping this incredibly annoying situation would be greatly appreciated.

    Never mind - I think I fixed it for her. 

  • Adobe Reader XI Read Out Loud problem

    I'm using Windows 8 and Adobe Reader XI, but the PDF documents won't 'read' when I activate Read Out Loud.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi thomash,
    Are you running into this problem with all PDFs, or just a select few? If the PDF was created from a scan, and OCR wasn't performed (so there's no "live" text), then there wouldn't be anything to read aloud.
    If the issue occurs regardless of the PDF you have open, has anything changed on your system since Read Out Loud worked for you?
    Best,

  • Read out Loud problem in Adobe Reader X

    I tried the Read out loud feature of Adobe Reader X, but it does not seem to be working.
    I am using Adobe Reader X on windows XP sp3
    when i click activate read out loud
    it gives me to more options in the view menu to read current page and read entire file to the end
    when I click either option, the option to pause and stop appears in the view menu but i dont hear anything.
    what should I do?

    Thanks for the response.
    Yes, this is mostly pie in the sky.  We're interested in taking the
    audio from a document read aloud by Adobe Reader and converting it into
    a format that can be burned to CD. I'm assuming that we would simply have to record the aloud reading--but I was wondering if Reader gurus might have a better approach.

  • Does any one know EXACTLY how to get siri to READ text messages out loud ?

    How do I get siri to READ my text messages ? What do I "say " to siri ?

    Just reading through this post and the best way to Reset SIRI is to go to Settings>General>Siri and then turn SIRI off. This erase's anything SIRI has learn't about you, all you have to do then is turn SIRI back on and it is reset. It is not necessary to reset the iPhone itself.
    SIRI can only read back unread Txt messages, if you have opened a Txt message and already read it you can not have SIRI read it back to you. Don't forget SIRI is still in BETA and will take a little while while Apple tweek this technology.
    Cheers.

  • Siri stopped talking out loud.  Text only.  Anyone know what could have happened?

    Siri stopped talking out loud on my iPad Mini.   Anyone know why?  Only thing I had done not long before I noticed this was use speakers.

    All other sounds work.  If I use Google and ask a question, it takes me to the website and also reads the answer out loud.  It is only Siri that does not speak anymore.  Settings are correct....ON for Siri and always just as you show.  No sound problems anywhere else...all aps have sound, etc.

  • TTS not working (in Babylon or Foxit reader read out loud or adobe reader read out loud)

    Hello
    Text to speech in applications(such as Babylon or Foxit reader read out loud
    or adobe reader read out loud) that use it does
    not work.
    Do not get any error, but when play would have no sound.
    I think this problem
    has caused the program system mechanic pro,
    It changed the registry.
    My OS is win 8.1 64 bit
    really need this functionality, please
    help me.

    Extremely grateful
    for answer.
    I try foxit reader support,
    but they could not help me.
    I think the problem
    is related to Windows.
    I previously didn't have any problem with these softwares.
    Why all three software(adobe reader, babylon, foxit) disabled at the same time?

  • Adobe Read Out Loud feature not working

    Anyone else run into this.  We activate it, it scans the document looking for tags, then does not read it.  Any ideas?

    Hey there hdilios,
    Just been trying to sort this one out myself, I noticed that you tried re-installing Adobe Reader with the same result.
    Could it be that, when you installed the first time / updated and then re-installed, Adobe Reader Protected Mode was automatically re-applied by default. Read Out Loud will not function while in Protected Mode.
    You must disable it to hear Read Out Loud document reader, it is quite safe to disable this additional security function, and the only way to make it work.
    To disable Adobe Reader XI Protected Mode
    - Open Adobe Reader
    - Click menu item Edit
    - Select Preferences
    - Preference panel opens
    - Select Security (Enhanced) in Categories list
    - Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
    - Dialog opens Click Yes
    - Close Preferences
    - Close/Restart Adobe Reader
    - Open a document you wish to read
    - Activate Read Out Loud
    - Choose Option to read Page or Whole Document
    - or setup for Reading with the Accessability Assistant.
    Hope this is the answer you are looking for, my Read Out Loud feature is functioning fine now it had me baffled for a while, thought my sound card was malfunctioning.
    Cheers Jethro

  • How do I get my Adobe Digital book read out loud.

    I am disabled and need to use text to speech. I purchased an ebook which is an Adobe Digital Edition. I have really enjoyed using Adobe Reader with the Read Out Loud feature and was shocked when I discovered I could not use this feature on the Digital Editions. If I knew Adobe cared so little about the disabled I would sought the book in a different format.
    Does anyone out there have any ideas on how to be able to get this expensive book read for me?

    I do not know quite what you mean by "paid for them to transfer all my data and programs over"...  I'm hoping you are not implying that you simply copied (had copied) programs from your application folder to your new computer.
    You still need to go through the installation process to install Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
