Did you know you could listen to our user guides read out loud
for free? Well, if you have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader or even the full
Adobe Acrobat installed on your Windows computer you have the ability to not
only read our guides but listen to them as well. It's a little known feature
that may be of use to you.
In Adobe Acrobat Reader, on the menu go to View, Read Out Loud. You can select to listen to the entire document or just
the page you are on. Adobe uses the basic Windows voice settings so if you aren't
able to hear anything, go to your Control
Panel, Sound and Audio Devices, Audio tab. On the Audio tab, ensure you
have a device selected for the sound playback.
If you want to adjust the voice or playback speed for the
read out loud capability, go to Control Panel, Speech, Text to Speech tab. I personally went with Microsoft Sam on my
computer, I like his deep monochromatic voice. If only they made a CP-30 voice.
