I open and review a lot of legal contracts using Bluebeam. It would be nice to have an option to have an audio playback feature, like on Word, that identifies and reads the text for those that are visually impaired.
I use Bluebeam with a lot of specifications, procedures, etc…
sometimes it would be nice to just let it read to me as an integrated feature
what do you think?
It may be better to use a third-party text-to-speech program rather than including it in Bluebeam. However, if it were a plugin where you could download just the languages you want when you want, it could provide functionality without adding bloat.
Hi @Kylan Brox. Thanks for sharing this. This is good accessibility feedback. We will note it.
I agree with Kylan. I use an audio playback on many apps. I am hoping that Bluebeam might integrate a reader soon.
Can Bluebeam reach out to any good provider like Natural reader or Microsoft for the plugin / integration?
I also agree with Kylan. I use an audio playback on many apps and web browser. Can Bluebeam work with a good reader (e.g. natural reader or the reader in Microsoft edge) and get an integration. I end up having to move from Bluebeam and open the PDF with the Microsoft edge browser.
Merged similar topics to add the vote count.
I agree… I use a lot of apps that read aloud and get a lot of large .pdf attachments that I open in Bluebeam that it would be very useful to have a read aloud option. It is something that Bluebeam (which I love) lacks.
I see that this is an older suggestion @Kylan Brox, but I might have a work around for you…
Have you tried exporting the text to Word? On a quick test this worked on a geotechnical engineering report from one of my projects.
While it isn't as simple as clicking a button in Revu, it appears to get the job done.
Hope this helps. 😎
Please add the ability to allow some users to edit/delete other peoples comments. This can be controlled through permissions. At our organisation when reviewing drawings there is a review manager that consolidates comments before sending them back. This process occurs regardless of if we are using Bluebeam or another tool.…
Add folders for studio sessions to organize the list of recent Studio sessions. Some of our clients utilize one Studio session per deliverable on large projects that have multiple reviewers. It can be quite a task to find the one studio session for a smaller project amidst the rows and rows of studio sessions per…
With more people using bluebeam as a CAD/drawing program. It would be nice if bullet points/numbers points with auto text indent was a feature.
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
This has been requested many many times in the past by many Revu users. WHY is there STILL no numbered/bulleted list function??
I'd like to create/insert a table into Bluebeam Revu that I can edit like any other markup.
Request is for the ability to group open PDFs into tabs, similar to the way that Microsoft Edge allows for web pages to be grouped together into tabs (Edge allows you to take a number of open websites and add them to a named / color-coded group tab. This allows for multiple websites to be open, but organized into group…
