calibre 7.19 Read aloud: usage start
When starting "Read aloud" on a fresh page, the first part of the chapter text is almost always omitted. In the case here that is "TEST:". Irregular only the last few letters are read.
Subsequent headers are fully read as they should. A further finding is that right after any ":" it would be preferred to have a certain delay (like as is used at the end period "."). This will sound more natural. Last edited by DrChiper; 09-28-2024 at 10:31 AM. |

For myself, I did found the problem: I was using bluetooth with in-the-ear buds to listen. Without them, and just using the PC-sound system, it works indeed fine. Apparently bluetooth needs some startup time to process the sound data. Interestingly, the colon ":" delay now works too as one would expected. |

At one point, we tried several brands of Bluetooth connected noise cancelling microphones for use with online meetings. We ended up going with USB connected headphones since there were too many audio drops/artifacts especially when switching speakers. The Bluetooth headphones were usable but annoying to use compared to the hardwired headphones.
