Reading email out loud

I quite often drive for long periods of time and need to know if emails coming in are critical or not. When I had a 9900 I used Vlingo or Drivesafe.ly to read the start of my emails to me. However, there doesn't seem to be a program that will do this for me in BB10. Anybody have any suggestions?

Recently I started having the same issues - email being deleted from my e-mail service provider's server by Microsoft phone Lumia 928 & I could not even find the deleted emails under server's trash folder. I do not want my emails deleted by the phone.
I do not see any recommendations to correct this issue. Does that mean I need to delete POP e-mail accounts just to keep my e-mail on the server?? If yes then, the windows phone is not worth owning. To the best of my knowledge this is not an issue created by Nokia.
Currently I found an unefficient way to keep my emails on my email provider's server but then why do I need this phone if it is nothing but a problem? A Sync issue/bug???
It would be great if someone from Verizon and/or Microsoft could clarify this issue.

How can I get "Read Out Loud" to read a calander properly for the blind?

I create a monthly newsletter for a place that has a traditional calendar along with it. One of the people this newsletter goes to is blind and uses a screen reader to read it out loud. I also discovered Adobe Reader can also do this. Unfortunately, both methods do not seem to understand how a calendar is read. Each day on the calendar has several events written into each. So when it reads, it goes from left to right with first reading the numbers of the day, then reading the first line of events all the way across, then second, third, etc... the will read the next row of day numbers along with the events, etc... Of course I want it to read the single day number with the events next, then the next day number and events, etc... I use InDesign to create everything if that helps at all. Is there any way to create this PDF so a reader will read it properly?

Hi,
Acrobat's ROL, while I find it very useful, is limited.
After all, it is not a "AT" caliber text reader.
It "reads" PDF page content left to right --- period.
It has no recognition of the logical hierarchy or structure of a PDF's content.
Consequently, what you've described is pretty much all you get.
For AT (JAWS, Windows Eyes, NVDA, etc.) to "work" a PDF properly the PDF must come from an authoring application that supports Tag management for the Tagged output PDF.
The authoring file content must be mastered in a manner that supports a Tagged output PDF that complies with ISO 32000-1:2008 (The ISO Standard for PDF).
(Available via: http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000 )
This is particularly true for tables.
Typically, "calendars" available for MS Word, other word processors or page layout applications usage are "layout" tables and as such will not provide an accessible table in a Tagged PDF.
A calendar, built as a data table such that it had a header row with header cells, a table body with data rows of data cells, etc,. could be the source content for a correctly built <Table> in PDF.
Such a table can be processed by AT (via appropriate keyboard commands) to permit understanding of the "who-what-why-..." of the table.
With an appropriate table description, you'd have an AT "usable" calender.
The calendar could be mastered in MS Word.
Conversion to PDF via Adobe PDFMaker or Office 2007's Save-As to PDF (with accessibility option selected) result in well-formed Tagged PDF.
n.b., Regardless of which may be used - be sure you've processed all available updates (Adobe's or Microsoft's) - it makes a difference.
From viewing InDesign/Accessibility eSeminars provided by Adobe I believe you can master tables the will be well-formed <Table> & child elements with InDesign. Until InDesign / FrameMaker get a make over <TH> Scope will still have to be done manually with Acrobat Pro.
If you have complex tables that warrent use of ID and Header you will want to use Acrobat 9 as the task is easier with it.

Read Out Loud, pdf file

I have adobe reader XI. I would like to scan a document, save it as a pdf file. Then have abobe reader read it out loud. Is this possible?

Not with Reader alone no. You would need to run OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on the scan first otherwise there would be no text to read.
Your scanning software "may" have that option.

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.

Adobe Reader - Windows 8 - Read Out Loud Feature

I have been trying to access the Read Out Loud feature in the most recent version of Adobe Reader for Windows. Making it for Windows 8 has lost most of the useful things about Adobe Reader. Is there a version of Adobe that in in a window with menus and features other than show page, navigate, and save?
Currently I have to email PDFs to an email associated with a Macbook that I have access to, and listen to the PDF on the Mac.

Not so far as I know. Creating a voice for reading is not about
recording samples, but about creating a kind of robotic voice,
something which is an enormous amout of highly skilled work. (Though I
don't work in the area and may have it wrong).

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.

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 Reader's Read Out Loud is glitched.

When I use the r-o-l feature to read my textbooks, the program does not read words with the letter "F" in them correctly. At first, I believed it was just something weird with the book I was attempting to have it read, so I changed it. But now I've bought a completely different computer, and have a new class with new text books, and it's still doing it. For example, the word fire. It'll read fee-are-ee. Influence is pronounced in-flamabluence. Flesh is 'florida-esh'. It's highly distracting, and I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions?
I am using Windows 8, on a pc.
Best,
Dawn

I do not have Reader installed, but in Acrobat, there is a Read Out Loud menu item under the View menu.

Acrobat 9 Pro can't read out loud

I've always been able to use Acrobat's "Read Out Loud" feature to help me proof complex documents by having Acrobat read the PDF aloud while I read the original to check for discrepancies. Since upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended version 9.4.6 on Windows 7, I can't get the Read Out Loud feature to work. The document is fully tagged, the sound and speakers are working correctly. After activating the Read Out Loud feature (View->Read Out Loud->Activate Read Out Loud), when I select any of the options (e.g., Read This Page Only or Read to End of Document), Acrobat crashes. It doesn't matter if I'm using a PDF generated from Framemaker or one downloaded from Adobe's site.
I've read through Adobe's Help forums and can't find a solution. Has anyone had and successfully resolved this problem?:
Carol

Just some nattering -
Maybe a "Repair" of Acrobat 9 will resolve the issue.
May have to move into Acrobat X (first fully "made for Win 7").

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.

Read Out Loud Not Working - Acrobat Pro v9.2

Hi,
I'm working my way through the Adobe Acrobat 9 Classroom in a Book and in Lesson 6 came to a section for accessibility and the Read Out Loud feature. However, when I follow the lesson (and instructions in the Adobe Help files), nothing happens. No sound, nothing.
I'm using Acrobat Pro v9.2 and Windows Vista.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been searching through the Forums, Help Files, and Google to try to find a solution or maybe see whay I could be doing wrong, but have come up empty.
I have checked my volume and it is set at maximum volume, and Read Out Load is activated under View -> Read Out Loud.
Thank you for any assistance.

Hi Bill,
Thank you very much, that helped. I didn't know anything opened up when it was activated and set to read so I paid attention to what was happening and noticed the bar on the bottom, but it was there only a second before disappearing. So then I thought to set my preference to a very slow speed (which I learned can't be less than 150 words a minute) and I also changed the voice to a Microsoft voice (SanSoft voices were the other choices). When I tried again, it worked. I don't know if it was the speed or the voice or both, but I never would have considered those if I hadn't been aware of the bar. It must have shown before but it was so quick and I wasn't looking for it that I must have missed it.
Thanks!

Be able to Read Out Loud text, not just form fields

I am trying to develop an accessible form that has at its end the following statement:
"I hereby certify that all statements on this application are true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that false statements on pre-employment materials constitute fraud in securing employment and is basis for dismissal."
This statement needs to be able to be Read Out Loud by a Screen Reader.
I started outlining the form in Microsoft Word and then brought it into LiveCycle. The PDF Structure shows the text but the Hierarchy does not. From my experiments, only the Hierarchy is Read by a Screen Reader.
So,
1) How to make the certification be read out loud?
2) How to alert users of Screen Readers that there also is a Signature line to fill out? They need to sign and date the form.
Thanks for any help you may give. BTW, I am using LiveCycle 8.

In Designer you can indicate what needs to be read for specific fields. Under the Window menu there is an Accessability palette that needs to be enabled. Once this is done you can enter Custom screen Reader text to be read. I woudl attach this to the last field on the form.

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

You mean an image such as a scanned document?
If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.
