Adobe Acrobat has a built-in Read Out Loud feature...but it is quite robotic to your concern.I love rhetorical questions, Rob. that would do i just bought the JAVASCRIPT bible 5th edition and it has 1700+ pages on the EBOOK which is on the cd i got with the book. where can i find this read out loud?Last time, i downloaded and install the M$ SAPI Speech installer at http://www.cs.unc.edu/Research/assist/packages/SAPI5SpeechInstaller.msi and play with it myself. quite cool actually...

Just my own experience... Quote I love rhetorical questions, Rob. And I hate being ignored! Quote Quote I love rhetorical questions, Rob. And I hate being ignored! what do u mean??Quote where can i find this read out loud? Check out my previous post. i found the narrator... its just wont read pdf's If I'm not mistaken, the Read Out Loud feature is only available in Adobe Acrobat ver 7.0 and later. After you open a pdf file, go to View, and you'll find the Read Out Loud in the list.
