Important PDF to speech converter limitations

At the moment, Narakeet can only read PDF documents out loud if they have text embedded into the document, and not just vectors for printing. PDF creation apps can turn the document into vector shapes and optimize it for printing, without keeping the embedded text. Documents like that require optical character recognition (OCR) for reading - effectively scanning images back into text. Although we plan to support reading pdf out loud using OCR in the future, this is not directly possible with Narakeet.

To read out loud PDF using Narakeet, make sure it still contains text, and not just vector shapes.

If you would like to be notified when it becomes possible to use text to speech for PDF documents containing only vector shapes (with OCR), get in touch with [email protected] .
