I was intrigued, so I downloaded the Free Adobe 8 Reader, and Hooray!
It used the installed Neovoice for reading. From skimming the promotional
material, it appears that it may be possible for owners of the professional
version to create fill-in forms for users of the free reader. I can imagine
things like health insurance forms eventually coming to us in a fill-inable
format.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 and possibly 7 OT
Yesterday, I downloaded a trial of Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 because I
wanted to be able to fill out PDF forms by typing in the information which I
could not do on the free Read-Only version. . Did you know that the
Professional version has a special recognition feature that will take
unrecognizable files which a screen reader like Zoom Text cannot read and
rescan them with an OCR program so that the Adobe program can recognize the
images? The screen reader still cannot recognize the images but the Adobe
program can read it out loud with its read out loud feature. This
recognition feature is not built into the free Read-Only program, as far as
I know. The Professional version is extremely expensive (over $400) but the
Professional version for students only costs, I have been told, about $100.
Amazing!
