A requested feature

[JackO]

Any chance a text to speech feature can implemented in Foxit Reader?

Yes, it will be in near future.

Just wondering what happened to the Text to speech feature? You said it would be coming soon. If you do implement it, it would be important to make it highlight the words as it was reading. This feature would make your program super desirable to the disabled population and make it get some attention.
Here's to hoping.

This is why I am no longer upgrading. I paid $40 for a license good for a year's worth of upgrades. A little stiff, but there were many promises made regarding features and bug fixes, none of which were fulfilled. The price for another year is $20 for empty promises. The renewal price should be far cheaper given the poor track record of unfulfilled promises.

If Foxit ever has the option of opening multiple files in one instance without having to go through the Open menu, like all other windows programs, I might reconsider. This was promised "real soon" a long time ago.

I will confirmed with our developer to see if this feature will be added in the next release V2.3, and posted here....

I used the free version for a long time, and only obtained a license about 4 months ago. It certainly is unfair to those that paid a fee to have to wait so long for promised features and bug fixes.

Especially when there are so many unfulfilled promises from MORE THAN A YEAR AGO...so long ago that a new license fee is required to be able to update!

This seems dishonest of Foxit. If no dishonesty was intended, at the very least, it seems like a VERY POOR business practice to make promises that aren't kept!

Hello all keen users,

I am so sorry for Jassamine response. Your requested features of text speech and opening multiple files in one instance are on our to-do-list, not included in the oncoming V2.3.

Tks

[Crazy Serb]

just resurrecting this "more than a year old" thread to check up on you guys and see how far that "text to speech" functionality has come along... if at all?

[christina]

Sorry for this. I will address your request again to our development team.
