Speak Selected Text not working Indesign CC

I used to be able to select text in Indesign and have it read back to me. Not it just reads the filename. I find it very useful to have text read to me for proofing. Please help!

Hi
I've discovered this issue too.
I'm using InDesign CC (9.2 - International English) and using the Mac OS X (10.9.1) built-in Text to Speech function.
Seems like the focus for the text reader is always on the title bar, so it will only ever read "Asterisk Untitled one at one hundred percent" (as an example for an unsaved untitled doc), no matter what is selected on the page.
Switching back to InDesign CS6 the text is read out correctly. Text is also read  fine in other CC apps like Illustrator. So it appears to be isolated to InDesign.
I  note, in InDesign CC that other text selected, eg the font name in the Control panel will be read correctly when selected, it is just the text in the document window (or Story Editor) that can't be read.
This is annoying enough that I will be switching back to InDesign CS6 unitl it is fixed.

  • Select text not working

    In my copy of Adobe Reader 9, the select text function does not work properly. After selecting the TOOLS->SELECT and ZOOM->SELECT TOOL, then moving the cursor into an area of text, the cursor appears as a + sign and allows selection of an area of the display window. After releasing the right mouse button, the selected area disappears and a display wide single line area results. I can copy an image of this one line area. What does not happen that I think should be is that the cursor should be a " | " vertical line allowing selection of text. This never happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader 9 to no avail to correct this problem.

    Maybe you are looking at a graphic pdf, not a text filled pdf. It just
    contains a picture of text.

  • Cascading Select Lists - Not Working for me

    I am trying to implement Denes Kubicek's Ajax Cascading Select List solution.
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:119
    But it is not working for me.
    I'm a newbie to APEX and checked the forum for advice on cascading select lists. I saw the thread for
    "Cascading Select Lists - Not Working" posted by sue and the replies by Varad Acharya, but I'm still
    having issues of not seeing the alerts, not able to run the pl/sql process in SQL Workshop, and not
    getting the expected results.
    I have a list of countries (US - USA, CA - CANADA, etc.) and a list of states for each country. When a
    user selects a country I would like to show the list of states within that country.
    This is what I've done so far:
    Defined an application process:
    Process Point: On Demand: Run ... by a page process.
    Name: CASCADING_SELECT_LIST1
    Process Text:
    BEGIN
    OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
    HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
    HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
    OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
    HTP.prn ('<select>');
    HTP.prn ('<option value="' || 99 || '">' || '- All States -'
    || '</option>'
    FOR c IN (SELECT state_code || ' - ' || state_desc d, state_code r
    FROM tbk_state
    WHERE country_code = :cascading_selectlist_item_1)
    LOOP
    HTP.prn ('<option value="' || c.r || '">' || c.d || '</option>');
    END LOOP;
    HTP.prn ('</select>');
    END;

  • Why won't "speak selection" accessibility feature work to read iBooks or PDFs?

    I have discovered that in iOS 5 there is a "speak selection" feature that can be turned on in Accessibility.  I like this versus Voice Over for students who need to hear text aloud because it bypasses all the changes of how the iPad works when Voice Over is turned on.  However, it doesn't appear to work with PDFs?  Can anyone help?  Is there an app that will read PDFs aloud?  "Speak selection" is working great in Safari or for e-mails.

    Speak selection for PDFs works in iBooks on iOS 6.1.

  • Why is predictive text not working on my iPhone 5s anymore

    Why is predictive text not working on my iphone anymore

    Actually, I just found the answer to my issue in this thread: The type correct/predict function for mail and text in iOS 8.0.2 was working fine then suddenly disappeared and reverted to the old style. I've checked all settings that seemed appropriate. How do I restore? I actually liked the new version. 
    Which says "a thin gray bar with a white dash in the middle of it immediately above the keyboard, you can reopen the suggestions by sliding up with one finger on the white dash." 
    That did it.
    I too have noticed a change, it seems with the new IOS update. My Predictive setting is on, but it seems before it would come up more often in predicting words and also give me a few choices. Now, it's not coming up as much and only providing one 'predictive' word which is not always right. This change is not very useful.

    Both Multi-Select and All-Select Do Not Work.
    What's up with this behavior?
    And when might it be fixed?
    BG...

    The Multi-Select is now working, not sure what I did wrong earlier. However the "Can select all" option when building the parameter does not work as advertised, though I was able to get around that as well.

    Selecting a "Single" or "Multiple Values" values from the LOV does work.
    The way I am getting around the problem is to uncheck the "Can select all" and then manually select all the values in the LOV in order to get the "All".

    I have F.F 3.6 and windows 7.: 1) When i want to buy a airplane ticket and want to select 2 adults or 2 children, the draw down select, does not work in any websides,? WHY?. 2) Have FF any problems with SKYPE
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == After innstalling windows 7

    As a suggestion I'd put the Text_io segments into their own begin - exception - end sub-blocks within the main code. This way if Text_io does raise an exception you can catch it earlier as it may be able to recover - That is if it is a text_io exception.
    Other than that you;ll have to step through in Debug.

  • SELECT * CONNECTION not work

    Hi,
    It is found that SELECT * does not work with CONNECTION. For example, I use the following statement to retrieve data from another system and an error states that SQL error 207 when accessing table 'MARA'. 'Invalid column name  'ANIMAL_ORIGIN''. If columns are specified, data can then be retrieved. The SAP BASIS version is 7.31.
    SELECT SINGLE *
          INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF ls_mara
        FROM MARA
                   CLIENT SPECIFIED
                   CONNECTION ('G01')
    WHERE MANDT = '100'.

    Hi TS,
    You gave the answer already, but look at the HELP:
    To allow the Open SQL command to be run for the secondary database connection, the table definitions in the connection must be the same as those in the standard database.
