I believe that acrobat has that functionality natively - but I have never used it. Maybe it needs Windows. Maybe it needs some support engine.
Interesting. I just checked Okular in oS 13.1 If you install jovie (zypper in jovie) then Okular has a speak current page feature under Tools as well as speak whole document. It takes a bit to get used to, but it is very understandable. I think it would be hard for a long listening session. Also if you can't select paragraphs or similar sub-page blocks of text to read it doesn't seem very usable. I tried acrobat reader from Windows 7 and I prefer the voice. It defaults to reading one paragraph at a time, but has a read full page selection under view and a read document to the end selection. From a user control-ability perspective that is much better than Okular. The acrobat/win7 voice is also far superior to the Okular one. In fact, the Okular is similar to what a Kindle can do. The Acrobat voice is smooth and has intonation. I know acroread was available in opensuse before. I don't see it in OSS or non-OSS for 13.1. I tried a couple of the home hosted packages (home:frispete:acroread and home:Int-sysadmin:tools) but both only have the source package. Is acroread still available for 13.1? (Not that it matters that much. I will try to set my friend up under MacOS, so getting it working in oS is a nicety not a need.)
