Read Out Loud - Microsoft online TTS engine error

Post by vivid_rabbit »

NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter enabled online voices but I've noticed that the "back" and "forward" functionality isn't behaving as expected.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Hello vivid_rabbit,

Welcome to our forums.
Are those Back and Forward buttons you refer to in our Editor or buttons inside the TTS engine?

Kind regards,
Stefan

I meant the Editor's buttons.

I've confirmed that these buttons work correctly when using non-online voices such as Microsoft Zira.
I'm not sure whether the problem is with NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter or the Editor.

Hi,

I can confirm the issue on PDFXCE but the issue is also reproducible with the TTSApplication tester from NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter so it's an issue with the adapter and not PDFXCE.

Reported to NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter Github repository and dev said that it's not supported now.

Hello Loki@99,

Thanks for doing so and for checking that the issue is with the TTS engine and not specifically with our Editor!

Kind regards,
Stefan
