Mac OS has a large number of high quality voices available from Nuance in many languages and dialects. It is an incredibly realistic voice but there are other options for text to speech voices in Mac. Selecting a Different Reading VoiceĪlex is the default reading voice on the Mac OS. You can adjust the voice and speech rate in the Dictation and Speech options in System Preferences. The default hotkey for TTS is Option+Escape. To stop the speech, type the same key combination again. Now each time you type this key combination, your Mac will read aloud any text you have selected.

To start, open the System Preferences panel under the Apple icon and click on Dictation and Speech.It is a simpler option than VoiceOver to use for reading e-texts for people with learning disabilities. The text to speech option also works in the Apple Calculator to make it self voicing.

Mac OS X also has a Text to Speech Option which will read selected text when the user presses a user defined Shortcut Key. Comparable programs that VoiceOver will work in are Pages (an Apple word processor) and Preview (the default PDF viewer for Mac).

VoiceOver will not read in Microsoft Office for Mac or in Adobe Acrobat Reader for Mac. The hotkey for starting VoiceOver for all Mac version since OS 10.5 is Command+F5. It was designed for people who are blind so it may be too feature rich for people just wanting to read text in a document. It reads all elements of the window and uses specific keystrokes and trackpad swipes to interact with menus and the contents of programs. and voila - the problem was fixed, Acrobat Reader launched fine.VoiceOver is a full function screen reader somewhat similar to using JAWS. I opened it again and moved English back to the top of the list and quit out of System Preferences (be sure not to skip this step!). In order to force a value to be written (not sure where that pref lives.), I dragged French to the top of the list and closed the Pref panel (Show All). So, I opened my System Preferences -> International Prefs, and clicked on the Language tab. #2 0x001e3d5c in LanguageSelector::OpenDefaultLanguageResFile(void)And that seemed pretty strange to me (!): Acrobat was trying to check my language setting(s) and found nothing ? Hmm. Two lines caught my eye: #1 0x001e4640 in LanguageSelector::ChooseSystemLanguage(void) I checked for a crash log in ~/Library -> Logs -> CrashReporterĪnd read the AcrobatReader 5.0.crash.log (if you double-click on the file, it should just open up in the Console utility). I trashed the prefs for Acrobat, and the problem persisted. Seemingly out of the blue, Acrobat (Reader) was crashing at launch ("Application has unexpectedly quit").
