My adobe reader X "Read Out Loud" doesn't work,

After going to view, then to "read out loud" then to activate, then back to "read out loud" then to "read this page only"..... nothing!.. no sound, no message, nothing. How can I fix this?

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.

  • Read Out loud is not working

    I can't get some PDF to read out loud. Any idea why? I am able to select and copy the texts so it's not an image for sure. If I paste the texts to word or some other app, I can use the text to speech from my Mac OS to read out loud and it's working fine. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

    Here's something new. This is one, http://www.ponemon.org/local/upload/file/NokNokWP_FINAL_3.pdf, of the many files that read out loud did not work. After reading your email, I thought I tried something new. The PDF in this link here read out loud fine in Safari and Chrome browser but when I downloaded to my computer it did not work in both  Reader or Pro v11.0.10. I have a MacBook Pro Yosemite. That is very strange.

  • 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. 

  • Audio out port doesn't work well

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Early 2011. Since I bought it I always use my Mac whit headphones, but since a month it only works well the left headphone. I think that the problem it was my headphones but no, because I used it on my phone and workes well. So i come to the conclusion that the audio out port doesn't work well. What you think? And what you recommend to me to fix this problem?

    Probably still under warranty, but not for long. Take it to the Apple Store or AASP to have it checked ASAP.

  • The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens.

    The zoom in zoom out gesture doesn't work on my iPhone 5c. Like when opening an app it doesn't zoom out and opens. It also doesn't zooms in while pressing the home button to return. The gesture is just like any other Android phone. Like while closing an app by pressing the home button the icons seem like zooming in and falling back to their respective places. This thing happens in my friends' iPhones but this thing doesn't happen on my iPhone 5C. Please help.. I am unable to find anything wrong with the settings either.

    I have another query though. Is it possible to always logged into my Gtalk from iPhone? I am using an app called Gtalk Lite. But every time I double press the home button and swipe up the apps to close them from running in the background Gtalk lite logs me off. I have to log in to Gtalk lite again. I was looking for something like that happens on Android phones. You are always logged in even after you close them from running in the background. And also is it possible to log in to more than one gmail account on Gtalk in iPhone?

  • Read Out Loud Doesn't Read

    Need help troubleshooting why Read Out Loud feature doesn't work. Sound on PC works fine. PDF can be read by JAWS (screen reader) but I can not get the PDF to be read using Acrobat 9 Pro or Adobe Reader 9. I just received an email from someone else having same problem. I'm assuming software conflict but am wondering which program is causing the problem. Any insight? FYI - I am selecting "Read This Page" after activating Read Out Loud.

    we are having the same problem. Using Win XP SP 2, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Will not read the document. Sound works on the pc, other programs play sound. Looking for a resolution.

  • Read out Loud isn't working in Adobe Reader.

    I have clicked on the "view" tab - clicked on "Read out Loud" - clicked on " Read to the end of document" and I have no sound. I have checked sound on computer and it is turned on..Help I need to do a assignment.

    The fact it's a PDF or that you see text on the page doesn't mean it's actually text. Most likely, it's just an image that contains text in it. As such, the ROL feature can't recognize that text and can't do anything with it. If you try to select it with the mouse you'll see that it selects the entire page.
    There's nothing you can do about it in Reader, though. You need to run Text Recognition on the file using Adobe Acrobat.

  • Read out loud does not work on Adobe Reader XI.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Does anyone know how to repair the Read Out Loud problem with Adobe Reader XI?

    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,
    Sara

  • 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

  • Reader X -  Save a Copy doesn't work on some sites (See Screenshot)

    When i open the following site :
    http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=PublicationURL&_tockey=%23TOC%235581%232011%23999 679996%232749734%23FLA%23&_cdi=5581&_pubType=J&_auth=y&_acct=C000058774&_version=1&_urlVer sion=0&_userid=5718791&md5=244a63d1a757822ce428c0af4f0cc4ae
    And click on one of the pdf files it opens and shows the save a copy button when i click on it, it doesn't work, in the old versions of reader all went fine.
    But on other websites i can open and save the pdf
    When i press Ctrl -Shift - S, the following message appears
    Im running Windows Xp sp3.
    Anybody an idea
    Kind regards

    We've had all kinds of issues with this.  If your user isn't a LOCAL ADMIN (and they shoudln't be) on the computer and the web browser is Internet Explorer, and the site has protected mode = ON in IE, and you have "display PDF in browser" enabled, you can kiss mouse wheel support, saving PDF's and some other things goodbye.  It seems to be a permissions issue when you start to resrtict what the user and user mode applications can do.
    If you disable the "display PDF in browser" option it works, but this breaks the DDE scripts on some websites.
    If you make the user an ADMIN on the workstation, it works, but that is stupid and we shouldn't have to do that.
    If you make the site a trusted site, or disable internet explorer sandboxing by eliminating protected mode support, it works, but again that is stupid - you shoudln't have to trust every site you want to print/save a stupid PDF from.  And besides, Adobe even thinks sandboxing is important, they just implemented protected mode support.  We shoudln't have to disable it in another product to get this one to work!
    Really hoping that someone at Adobe will get a clue and start making something that works with corporate machines that have limited user rights, and UNC path folder redirection and roaming profiles, and print drivers that need to be used to render the document to print correctly and etc...

  • New update Video out still doesn't work

    apple posted a new update to ipod classic, and the video out isn't grayed out anymore, but when I hook my ipod to my Philips DVD (the one that was made for ipod video, you just place the ipod in the slot), it said "TV Out Enabled Please Connect Video Accessory" it is hook up, so I still get nothing. I bought this DVD player because it was made only for ipods and the ipod doesn't work in it.

    I too have the same issue with the 160GB Classic and the Philip DCP 850. I still have time to return it for a refund, but I have already sold my 5.5gen 80GB. This was my fourth ipod and unless a firmware upgrade resolves this in the next 2-3 weeks I guess I too will be among what seems to be the hundreds(here) and likely thousands who are returning theirs.... and how many others just are not buying because of this issue. This is definitely worse than the iPhone pricing issue. Steve Jobs was right about iPhone technology pricing, however callously or clumsily he may have expressed himself. This is just gouging and causing faithful customers like ourselves to have wasted a lot of $$$$$$$ on accessories that he has now crippled or rendered useless. Perhaps Mr Jobs ahould become an oil company executive... then he can really manipulate the population.

  • Reader X: Read Out Loud function not working; no voice output

    I was using this function in the Reader 9.4 but the voice got the text a bit garbled at times, so I thought I'd try the latest version of the Reader and see if the passage was less garbled.  Reader X has no voice output at all, even after setting and confirming accessability config.  I messed with all 3 options of text buffering.  I know the pdf file I'm viewing is ocr not image (at least Reader 9.4 could read it w/ a bit of it being garbled).  Not sure what else to try; Text Aloud voices still work in that application.

    I'm just now bumping into the problem again.  I've got choices in "preferences - reading" of 3 AT&T voices and the default MS voice.  I prefer the AT&T Voices that I got from text aloud.  But they don't work even if I can point to one of them via preferences.  But the default MS voice works I found out, eventaully.  I guess I'm OK w/ just that voice available to me rather than "enabling protected start up" and reinstalling the AT&T voices (think that's what you suggest to do).  BTW, "enabling protected start up" is already set so maybe this would not work.  Also not sure I have the voices on disk so... can I even reinstall them?
    Thanks for the help.

  • 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.
