Hi group fellows,
One of  our fellow member has asked the question:
Does the Lekha TTS supports the pdf file?
Perhaps you may have also ask similar type of question.
Keep in mind that if there is no speech out, it is not only due to the TTS.
If a vehicle stops moving in a road, do not conclude that it is only
due to the driver.
Let me explain the situation on the context of this question.

A TTS has no thing to do with an application. There is no question
asking whether it supports pdf file or not.
Just ask whether the active screen reader supports it or not.
If your screen reader recognizes the texts of a file and reports to
the TTS that there contain this letter, an TTS will speak it. The duty
of a TTS like lekha or my Wachak is just speak those letters/words
which screen reader will sent to it. In case of a TTS, always ask
whether it supports this language letters or not but never ask whether
this supports this application or not.
A TTS is like a mike which will produce a sound if one speaks. It will
be silent if no one speaks.
If there is no voice in pdf file while the active synthesizer is the
lekha, it means the active screen reader is not recognizing the pdf
text and not sending the text of the file. If the screen reader has
reported what letter was there, lekha TTS may report you by producing
the sound. Here the mouth is not speaking but not the mike!
