TextAloud 2.080b Available - Really Final Beta?

Postby kdwhite » Thu Sep 16, 2004 7:59 pm

After the last false start, this one will be good ;)
http://nextup.fileburst.com/TA2080b.exe

Changes in 080:
-Fixed two bugs related to new registration codes, including the problem where everytime you went back and forth between 1.x and 2.x, you had to re-enter the code
-Fix voice output quality on Neospeech voices related to wrong sample rate selection.
NOTE: If you already entered 2.x registration code, you'll have to enter it again for this new build.

Changes 078:
-It is a 20 day trial, pending putting in new 2.0 style registration codes. Those should be available in a week or so.
-Leaving skip forward and back enabled even when not speaking to help with navigation through multiple articles.
-Fixed some problems with Options->Select Audio Device
-Fix for Shift-TAB to get you out of article text (needed by sight-impaired users)
-Fixes to neospeech handling roman numerals
-Help file updates
-Correctly naming Neospeech voices as Neospeech instead of VoiceWare
-Popping baloon hint on system tray icon as confirmation for a new article coming in through New HotKey.
-Fixed problem if you hit Delete button too many times fast.
-Handle drag and drop text dropped on floating toolbar
-Fix for WMA creation crash

If we are lucky, this will be the last build before 2.0 release, sometime in the next couple of days.

Audio Reset Failed -- Win98SE

Postby Ron Wright » Sat Sep 25, 2004 1:33 am

I've tried the beta on two machines. Seems to run OK so far on the XP machine, but has crashed a bunch of times in a row when I stop it saying

Audio Reset Failed
Access violation at address 00406848 in TEXTALOUDMP3.EXE
Read of address FFFFFFFF

This occurred using the FirstByte MaleSoft voice (a voice I particularly like and have used for years with Monologue97), but seemed not to occur with Mary.

Ron, if you could, email the following to kdwhite@nextup.com

If you look in the TextAloud directory, you'll find a few debug files named TextAloudMP3.dbg, TextAloudMP31.dbg, TextAloudMP32.dbg, and TextAloudMP33.dbg. If you can email these files to me they should give me a better idea of what is going on.
