Speech Technology / Try if Ultra Hall TTS starts then gives error

« on: June 11, 2007, 07:11:46 am »

My Ultra Hall TTS just stopped apparently for no reason. The Microsoft TTS app that is buried in the Kate and Paul lib section stopped working as well as my yread2, all of which use the 5.1 Speech API.  The spacejock installer checking to see if everything was there for yread said the 5.1 API failed and tried repeatedly to install it without success.

Then I remembered that I had uninstalled Natural Reader.  I reinstalled it and everything started to work again.  The uninstall must have yanked out something in the 5.1 Speech API.

Speech Technology / Suggestions for next version

How about a start at cursor button?

How about the ability to start at an inserted bookmark (Maybe an alt number)? And ask if you want to set a bookmark (removing the old one).

How about a menu item to link you to a working dictionary so you can fix funny pronunciation, since the dictionary is there anyway? (The dlls to make it work are available on the internet.)

Finally, how about making the text size resize all text in the window without selection, since you're not so likely to use the program to edit text.
