GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 319215
Quoted text is not read by Gnopernicus in the Adobe Reader 7.
Last modified: 2006-07-02 11:38:51 UTC
Version details: with the festival speech synthesis. Distribution/Version: Ubuntu 5.04 hoary. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Open Office writer and write some quoted and not quoted text: Hello, this is a "test line" This is another line, but without quotes. "this is a entire quoted line." 2. Export it to PDF format. Select file, then select export to PDF. 3. Open Adobe reader 7 for Linux and load the previously saved pdf file. 4. Press f7 to read it with the cursor and screen reader. 5. Up and down arrow to read the text. Actual result: Any quoted text is not read by the speech, the rest is read correctly. In braille display all the text is presented without problems. Correct result: The text has to be read by speech and braille.
oana, can you look into this? Seems odd, but if you have Acrobat Reader 7 you could check the output to gnome-speech to see what's being sent.
The same behavior is in the openoffice.org writer, not need to be in adobe reader. I think the problem is into GNOME speech with the UTF8 and ISO-8859-1 conversion. So I think to move this to Gnome speech bug. The same problem is reading it with ORCA screen reader.
This behavior is not present when freetts or dectalk are used. So, this is a gnome-speech/festival bug.
Since this appears to be related to UTF-8 vs. ISO-8859-x encodings, I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug 141516. Please re-open this bug if the fix for that bug doesn't help with this problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 141516 ***
