Adobe Acrobat Reader features a built-in narrator that utilizes Windows' text-to-speech capabilities to read PDF files. However, users have reported that the default reading speed is set between 150 and 650 words per minute, making it difficult to comprehend the spoken text at the lower end of this range. This limitation has raised concerns about the practicality of the feature, as many users find it too fast to understand. Fortunately, this issue has been addressed in Windows 10, which offers improvements to the Narrator functionality, enhancing the overall user experience with text-to-speech in PDF documents.

It was a good idea to put this feature in, but maybe they should have thought it through a little better, as noi-one will use this feature in its current state. (Unless of course its just my version of adobe acrobat reader that has this problem).

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
