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 won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

    As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.  

    Hi oxide9999999999,
    For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
    Hope this helps,

    Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.
    To be absolutely accurate - there is another one - you put your ear to when using the phone to make a call.

  • HT4145 why won't my old airport express work?

    why won't my old airport express work?

    Not sure what you mean by "won't work".
    Won't turn on at all?
    Won't allow configuration changes?
    What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express?
    If you could provide the Model No of the old Express.....look on the side of the Express for this.....it will be something like "A x x x x"
    and
    If you could provide the version of AirPort Utility that you are using.....open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility to locate the version number

  • Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?

    Why won't Acrobat X Pro honor the margin (art box) from PDF's exported from InDesign CS6?
    When I export a PDF from InDesign CS6 with specific margins, Acrobat does not recognize the Art box. (I have PitStop Pro 11 for page box view)

    Thanks Steve,
    We are exporting PDF's as you indicate. I see the same thing. The boxes are all the size of the original InDesign document. The PDF art box should be predicated by the margins in InDesign. When we had CS3, this worked great. Now, it seems that there is a disconnect between the two Adobe products honoring the page box size. I have contacted the Adobe techs via chat, and they had no clue what I was referring to. I find it mystifying that Acrobat can not interpret the art box set in InDesign as margins.

  • How exactly does the new iCloud accessing feature work?

    I have heard that the new firmware allows access to any hard drives connected to an AirPort through iCloud.
    How exactly does this feature work? Will the files be accessible on the web? Will I be able to mount the hard drive remotely if my computer is logged in with the same iCloud account?
    Please clarify, as I am considering buying now.

    The "magic" behind iCloud for accessing either your AirPort Extreme/Time Capsule or your Mac from the Internet is Back to My Mac (BtMM). For reference, iCloud replaced MobileMe.
    Here are a few links for more details around BtMM:

  • Will IPad Accessibility Features work with pdfs?

    I am unable to use "Speak Selection" or "Voice Over" with my pdfs in the Adobe Reader app.
    Is there any way to add speech to pdf docs?

    I don't believe those features have yet been added to Adobe Reader for iOS. The Reader product for mobile is less mature than Reader on Macintosh or Windows since it's development is relatively recent.
