Hi all;
For what it is worth, one of our student workers downloaded and installed
PDF Aloud. Here are his comments.
The PDFaloud plugin adds a toolbar to the Adobe Acrobat Reader which reads
and highlights text. The drawback is that it will only work for pdfaloud
speech-enabled PDFs. The only such pdfs I found were on the PDFaloud
website. For those documents, the reading for the plugin worked okay, but
Adobe seemed to freeze up when I tried to change the speech options.
I hope this helps if people are curious about the product and what it does.
Kathy
