Text to Speech not working on Mac

I downloaded a PDF file because it was not avaliable in ebook form. When I activated text to speech there was no output.

Perhaps there is no text on the page. This can happen especially if it is an old book that was scanned.

  • Text-to-speech not working in preview 8.0 for .pdf files !

    Text-to-speech is working in every thing expect in preview after the new upgrade yosemite. Please if somebody has any remedy please let me know or I request apple to bring a new update to over come this problem.

    I have found that Text-to-Speech works just fine in Yosemite's Preview application — without changing any standard settings. I added additional voices, and it works equally well with these too. You should not expect Text-to-Speech functionality with text that is incorporated into a graphic though.
    Both Edit > Speech  > Start Speaking, and after enabling in Text-to-Speech Preferences, Speak selected text when the key is pressed (option+Esc).

  • Text to Speech not working in Trial

    I downloaded and installed the Captivate 4 trial and am impressed with the enhancements I have explored thus far.
    However, I'm very excited to try out the text to speech tool. However it does not seem to work--Captivate keeps prompting me to download and install the Neotext databases--which I have done--a couple of times now.
    When I first downloaded them and added them, Captivate was still running.
    Since it did not recognize the install, I quit Cpativate and installed them again.
    Still no luck.
    Any ideas on how I can get this to work?

    Hi there
    For anyone that finds this thread later, I have a small tutorial up for that. You may view it by clicking here.

  • Text to speech not working in Pages

  • Can not get Text-to-Speech to work

    I can not get Text-to-Speech to work. In "Settings", I can go into "Voice input & output", then to "Voice Output; Text-to-speech settings" and then to "Install voice data; Install the voice data required for speech synthesis" but it is "grayed out". I have downloaded Pico TTS several times and I have soft-reset and hard-reset the device several times. Still no text-to-speech
    Any thoughts on what I can do to get text to speech to work?

    Odd.... I tried both Vlingo and Handcent and neither of those did Text to speech either. Very odd. I am using same Bluetooth headset that worked on my other HTC device.
    Any other thoughts?
    Did you activate InCar in Vlingo?  I just checked this and it works for me.  Once you activate InCar, you should hear "Vlingo InCar".
    If Vlingo InCar doesn't work for you, have you considered getting another Bluetooth headset that has the ability to read texts to you, like the Blueant Q2?

  • In context not working with Mac Safari 6.04

    Hi there just noticed
    in context not working with Mac Safari 6.04, you can edit text, and save and publish but editable marquees are no longer visible especially the repeating elements?

    Hi Vicki,
    I would suggest submitting a support case on this for further investigation. 
    Unfortunately I'm on a PC machine so I cannot confirm on my end.  Please reach out to direct support ASAP if the issue is still existing.

  • Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

    I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

    You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
    While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
    AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
    I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
    Thanks,

    I am running Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite and iPhoto Version 9.6 (910.29). Automatic updates in the Mac App Store is turned on for my iMac and it shows no updates available. I was told directly by Apple Support on the date that I wrote this article (Nov 8, 2014) that there were no Canon drivers and photo transfer software that worked with Yosemite. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution. At that time I was running Mac OS X 10.10 (because the 10.10.1 update was not yet available) and the most up-to-date version of iPhoto for Mac OS X 10.10 that was available at that time, at least per the Mac App Store. I was told by Canon that the workaround was to change the communication method from Normal to PTP on the camera, which did provide a solution.
    With the Mac OS X 10.10.1 update if the camera is in PTP communications mode the thumbnails now appear in the Import screen in iPhoto almost immediately. If the camera is returned to Normal communications mode; however, it takes forever for the thumbnails to appear. I have been waiting 10 minutes and iPhoto has generated only 14 thumbnails. So it appears that there is still something not working properly between the original Canon EOS Digital Rebel and Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 when the communications mode on the camera is set to Normal.

    Hi All!
    I have bought a Tata Photon max WiFi (Huawei EC 315) dongle, which is not working on Mac OS X 10.10.
    Does anybody know what is the problem?
    Do I need a different dialer?
    Do I need a new driver for the Huawei dongle?
    I didn't find satisfying solutions on Tata or Huawei homepage!

  • For Acrobat 9. TouchUp Text tool does not work.

    Acrobat 9. TouchUp text tool does not work --- even on documents created with my computer using installed fonts. Problem 2: when trying to export to Word 2010 there is no option for format .dox, only .doc which belonged to earlier versions of Word.

    Hi Begin,
    I have the same issue, I am not sure which version so I had on my old computer but when I got a new windows 7 64bit, and asked IT to install Adobe, my life turned upside down. now they asked if I need X or 9pro and I though 9pro is the latest and greatest.. they installed the standard first then could not edit then asked for the pro and could not edit ... now I search and maybe version X will edit but if the document is signed and we do need to do lots of editing after the signature then what is the solution??
    I hope the Guru in Adobe can help here soon please :-)!!

    Best,
    James.

    you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac.  you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
    adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
    your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.

    hi wjosten
    I don't put the iphone in my front pocket. I put in my bag pack so vibration is not useful to me. Pls help
    The iPhone is working exactly as it is designed.
    Your options are:
    1) Unplug the headset.
    2) Leave the headset plugged in and the earpiece in your ear at all times.
    3) Turn on vibrate and put the phone in your pocket.
    4) Leave feedback for Apple and hope they deem it worthy of their time to fix.
