wanted: voice screen reader

Microsoft voice can´t do this. There is a JAWS screen reader for ppc (could not find it) for visualy limited users.
Perhaps the next version (2.0) will have a screen reader built in (Whishful thinking :O).
What I am looking for is a reader that reads the text in the active window (nothing else) and that can do some application control like next/previous etc. (I know the microsoft speech sdk for windows had one for the pc,
perhaps someone can make it work on ppc, using the libraries installed by microsoft voice)
If you ever stumble on one please let me know.
Thanks

Android PDF Print Driver

Hello,
My phone is the HTC EVO Slide. My question is relating to whether or not there is an application that would give the phone the ability to save or convert word, text, excel documents into PDF documents. Something similar to the ability of the Cute PDF driver on the Microsoft Windows operating system? I have Quick Office Pro installed on my phone and it cannot do this. I am willing to pay for this functionality. Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Peter

I'm also very interested in it.

[Q] TTS for web browser/VoiceOver equivalent for Android?

Hi,
I've been looking for a way to have my Android phone read to me similar to iOS's VoiceOver feature. I'm running Android 2.3 but can't seem to find a way to accomplish this easily.
A couple quasi solutions I have found is to use a RSS reader, such as FeedSpeak or Web Talks that support TTS (Text to speech), however this only works for RSS feeds. Another method is to convert websites into PDF's using Dolphin Browser's "MyPDF" Add-on and use ezPDF's voice reading feature to read the PDF back.
Am I missing something that is inherent in the Android OS? Does anyone have a better app to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for your help!

This is an excellent example of what I'm looking for, I just wish it was a little more refined. Hopefully this will help someone.
Does anyone know of any similar apps?
Thank you

[Q] PDF reading on Wp7

Why isn't any good pdf reader out there for windows phone 7 devices.
There are very less no of apps regarding pdf reading.

What all apps for pdf did you find other than the adobe?

I think there are two more apps.........
1. PDF viewer(DotNetNuzzi)
2. Amazing free pocket.
But both are pretty dumb apss.
Is developing pdf viewer on wp7 that much hard.

Developing a PDF reader on *anything* is hard. It's a complicated format. Developing one on the phone is harder still, because you need to write it in .NET unless you get special permission from Microsoft. The official Adobe Reader app uses a native component (accessed via COM, much like many homebrew apps) to do the actual PDF rendering.
Is there some specific feature you need that the current PDF reader apps don't offer? I don't enjoy reading PDFs (on my phone or anywhere else) but I've found the Adobe Reader app to be sufficient for use on the phone.

Ok, but Adobe Reader on WP7 doesn't have important features like: searching, "go to page" and it's little slow!

how about sending them a feedback or just a simple review telling them.

I feel the most important feature the PDF reader lacks is its inability to open "password protected files"
All card statements and mobile phone bills come with password via email and its really handy to open it in mobile instead of PC or lappy.

[Q][Phonegap] NFC Mobile Credential?

The Idea with the project is use the Mobile as a Credential using NFC with an Arduino Leopard + NFC Shield. I'm using Phonegap 'cause I can use the code for android, wp and android, and maybe sometime for ios.
I just need send 2 string, like email and a key to Arduino, doing the work to validate the information with a web service.
I try with all Information from the Plugin Phonegap NFC from Chariot Solutions from Github.
but no results. The Example codes what i found is just to write and/or read on nfc cards.
¿How could make with phonegap as a Mobile Credential NFC to Arduino?
If someone did this, i will rly grateful.
