Read aloud problem
Hi,
I have just tried to use the read aloud feature.
Using the flite and speech dispatcher engines I get a voice (but terrible).
Using the Piper engine the only thing that happens is a word or phrase is highlighted but no sound. The same word remains highlighted but nothing else happens.
Tried a different voice. Still nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Phil
