Adobe Reader Read Out Loud No Sound

1. Adobe Reader "read out loud" not working

   I take just installed Adobe reader, looking into its Read Out Loud plug-in. I have selected to activate the reader, and it creates a box around the text. Whenever i click on text, i tin can movement the box, but it doesn't read to me. I'm thinking information technology's because Ubuntu doesn't come up with a virtual output device. Tin anyone tell me what I need to exercise?

   Cheers

   Read a PDF with Read Out Loud
   Annotation: The Read Out Loud feature is available for Linux merely not for other versions of UNIX.

   The Read Out Loud characteristic reads aloud the text in a PDF, including the text in comments and alternate text descriptions for images and fillable fields. In tagged PDFs, content is read in the club in which it appears in the certificate�due south logical structure tree. In untagged documents, the reading order is inferred, unless a reading gild has been specified in the Reading preferences.

   Read Out Loud uses the available voices installed on your system. If you lot have SAPI 4 or SAPI five voices installed from text-to-speech or language applications, yous can choose them to read your PDFs.
