[Xerte] Re: Text to Speech - disable in IE

[Alistair McNaught]

Hi Janis
Thanks for clarification. That sounds like a defensible decision and although there's no obligation for you to justify it to me (!) I'm grateful you took the time to explain, not least because accessibility is one of the selling points of Xerte and it's good to keep the topic alive on the list.

All the best

Alistair

> Alistair McNaught, I decided to disable Text to Speech option, because we have recorded our own text narration for important text objects and embedded it into the project, and I think it will be more accessible in the end as our test groups reported they couldn't enable Xerte Text to Speech to work even with tutorials on how to enable ActiveX in IE properties. As well as many users just don't have an administrator access to computers in public places to make it work. + own recorded narration will work in all browsers. So that was the reason to dissable Xerte's text to speech and record/embedd our own narration.
