    Cool Adobe Reader Read Aloud?

    There is probably a thread already in the forums somewhere, but I'm blind as a bat when it comes to looking for things on the forums. In Winblows (>.<), you could make Adobe Reader read aloud the PDF. I have looked everywhere, added the medibuntu repositories, etc. Every website I have looked at said something including acroread. the acroread-plugins and the acroread-plugin-speech package. Even after following all of them I still cannot get to work. On another post in the forums it says I can only get it through Automatix, but when I Google it it mostly comes up with a program called Ultamatix. I installed it and there is no package in it that is the packages I need. Can anyone find out how to get those packages? Please and thank you.

    Does anyone know? It is much easier to listen to something else read the text to me than reading it my self. I don't know why this is, but it is.

    I have never used this feature, but I have a "Read Out Loud" option in the View menu of Acrobat Reader 9.

    I did that second after deleting it after installing it from the Software Center. That didn't work.
