READ:OutLoud Release Notes

Acapela

  • ROL-67 - Adjusting pitch has no effect on the Acapela voices.
    The Acapela voices do not allow you to adjust the pitch.
  • ROL-84 - Acapela uninstallation breaks SAPI.
    SAPI must be reinstalled after Acapela is uninstalled.

Read Out Loud

  • ROL-27 - Top level menu headers are not accessible.
    Using JAWS or WindowEyes, it is not possible to have the menu headers and other user interface elements read out.
  • ROL-78 - Highlighted text is light gray.
    The spotlighting that Read Out Loud uses to highlight the text being read is sometimes light gray rather than a more visible color. This makes it hard for sighted users to see the highlight. This also applies to text found using the search feature.
  • ROL-89 - Incorrect login message is not shown.
    Trying to login to Bookshare using Read Out Loud's browser and supplying an incorrect username or password does not result in an error message on the site (as happens when using Firefox or Internet Explorer.)
  • ROL-91 - Downloads window retains focus after download.
    The downloads window has a confusing user interface; namely the "open" button does not actually open the book in Read Out Loud. The window will be hidden after download has completed in future versions.
  • ROL-95 - The eBookStyle menu should be renamed.
    The eBookStyle menu should be renamed to "Text style". This menu is used to change the visual layout (including font size) of the books.
  • ROL-114 - "Open with" does not work on Mac.
    On OSX, using the "Open with" option from the context menu does not open the book.
  • ROL-116 - Pressing "cancel" from the "Loading Book" dialog does not always work.
    When the "Loading Book" dialog is displayed, the cancel button does not always properly cancel the book loading.
  • ROL-126 - Spanish characters are not properly rendered in Read Out Loud.
  • ROL-131 - Fractions and other special characters are not properly rendered in Read Out Loud.
  • ROL-134 - Read Out Loud does not read image descriptions or image captions.
  • ROL-136 - Sometimes the Solo window pops up erroneously. You can close the window to make it go away.
  • ROL-137 - Using "Open With" when ROL is already open does not open the book.
