saifaiI got my Acrobat to speak my reading assignments to me. Didn't know it could do that, but what else can you expect when you're bored and have to read homework.
Right, so on with the back story. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away (Pocatello) lived a strange family. They had a voice capturing device attached to their telephone (answering machine). It's name was Brock.
Well okay, it wasn't really... but that's what we called him. It was a completely digitalized voice (he kinda sounds like that little program they had awhile back that was a wizard that would read whatever was on your desktop). The telephone had a name on it somewhere, perhaps a brand name or something. However, we decided that must be the name of the guy in our machine. You pressed the message replay button and he would repeat the messages to you. He would answer our calls and everything.
Oh, how we missed Brock. But he's back! He's in my Adobe Acrobat. You go in there and you can ask him to read a document to you. So, I figured since I hate reading I could just get him to read it to me. *gr* He's kinda hard to listen to since it's not a natural voice (Sorry, Brock. But it's true). It's still fun though. Only problem is that now I can't listen to my music while he's reading my homework. I can live with that though.
Now, maybe I can test my multi-tasking abilities and see how much I can comprehend of what I'm hearing while I'm reading fanfic. It could work, right?
