[Xerte] FW: Text to speech

[Alistair McNaught]

See query below from Teachers list; I'm on XP so can't help. Any Win 7 users working with Xerte Toolkits? Can you try text to speech setting?

Thanks

Hi,

Is anyone having a problem using text to speech in internet explorer 9 ( V. 9.0.8112 to be precise) ?

There are a couple of us who are trying it and it doesn't seem to be working. If others have managed to get it to work in this version of IE, at least we can rule that out as the problem.

We have set the activeX controls. There seems to be an additional ActiveX control "allow ActiveX filtering" we have tried this disabled and enabled and neither option seems to make a difference.

Can anyone suggest any other reasons why voice to text won't work? I have been told that it might not work if we have Skype open, although we have closed Skype and it still won't work.
