I am sorry that it stopped working for you :( Unfortunately, I stopped maintaining this program years ago.

Hi! After updating Windows, the software no longer recognises the installed voices. Is there a fix? This is the best TTS software out there! Please fix it!

I am using Microsoft Michelle's voice, but I much prefer it when her voice is at -1 or -2 Pitch. I am able to adjust her voice pitch on other programs and browser addons, but not on Read4Me TTS Clipboard Reader. It would be a really great feature or option if you could add an adjust pitch in addition to the adjust rate and adjust volume.

Hello. I am putting some feelers out to see if there would be any objections to moving the project to GitHub. I believe this would simplify community contribution for continued maintenance, support, and bug fixes. I have a couple of fixes for improved stability. But I have been selfishly using my own build instead of publishing it here. Life got in my way as it tends to do.

Hi Christopher, I'm sorry for your inconvenience. Unfortunately, I no longer support or develop this program. It's open-source, so you're more than welcome to extend and improve it. Thank you for your understanding.

Yesterday it stopped working and all the voices are gone all the fields where you choose your voice went blank or said detect language. I've went into Microsoft settings and I can test the voices in settings and other software still have access to it?

Hi Jaime, thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, I no longer support or develop this program. It's open-source, so you're more than welcome to extend and improve it. Thank you for your understanding. Best, Yassen

Hi, I already have a scheduler making rss to txt every hour, what I need now is to make that txt file to mp3 every hour. So, I can listen to that mp3 with the rss feed updated every hour via FTP with my phone and other devices. It also can be that you can add a "make mp3 at startup" I need the mp3s at volumes between 98 and 110 dbs. If you can add the option volume to use dbs it will be very useful for many people If you are curious, I am using this scheduler https://withdata.com/dbtodb/schedule-task.html...

Elizeon created merge request #1
Option to pause speech when reading a new line.

Hi Yassen, I checked out the repo and added a setting that allows pause on newline, mainly for my personal use. Would you like me to contribute this change to the project? If so, could you please add me as a contributor so I can create a pull request? (I assume that's how that works, I haven't contributed to an open source project before)
-
Hi, I'm very happy that someone is still using this app. I'm not actively developing it anymore, but it's open-source so any contributions are welcome!

Hi, I have used this software for several years. I use this software to read lecture slides when studying so I can take in the info easier. Often in lecture slides there are series of dot points and in Read4Me these are read without pauses at the end which can be confusing. Here's an example (this is kind of messed up formatting but it must be what Read4Me sees in its clipboard, its directly copied and pasted from a pptx in office online, where it actually appears as a sentence and then 4 short dot...

I ran starter.bat and got the program dialog box. When I keyed words in the "Please enter text in the box below," the program worked and I heard the words. The ctrl-win-o shortcut worked to close the dialog box. None of the other shortcuts worked. I never could get any speech from the clipboard or selected text.

I was looking for a Danish language TTS file and found this work around for WIN 10 https://www.ghacks.net/2018/08/11/unlock-all-windows-10-tts-voices-system-wide-to-get-more-of-them/ It worked well.... Sharing is caring! :)

Hi, I've just given you permissions! Can you contact me by email (yassendobrev at gmail dot com) to talk about the details. I'm looking forward to working with you :)
-
I would love to be a contributor. I have been using your program for a long time. I have tested several TTS applications, but nothing compares to Read4Me for day to day use. It Is one of the best accessibility tools I have ever used. And as luck would have it, I am comfortable developing in C#. So, I can bug test as I go.
-
Thanks Adam! If you're interested to help develop r4m I can give you update permission. Please let me know.

To answer Abdolhamid Shariat’s question. Move the extension method “SplitByLength” to a static class. public static class ExtensionMethods { public static IEnumerable<string> SplitByLength(this string str, int maxLength) { for (int index = 0; index < str.Length; index += maxLength) { yield return str.Substring(index, Math.Min(maxLength, str.Length - index)); } } } https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9238114/extension-method-must-be-defined-in-a-non-generic-static-class Also, I have a bugfix for Read4Me....

But I would like to learn c# as well

Yes but with vb.net

Are you interested in developing Read4Me further and do you have any programming skills?
-
what the Read4Me does I mean "text to speech" and I would like to know how this software works as well
-
Sorry, I'm not actively developing the project anymore. What are you trying to achieve?

Hi When I run Read4Me on windows 10 visual studio 2014 I got this error "extension method must be defined in a non-generic static class" Perhapse from this part . namespace Read4Me { partial class Read4MeForm { static Thread oThread; bool StopConversion = false; How can I resolve this error

Hello, I downloaded and installed Read4Me, but I'm not satisfied with the voices preinstalled on my computer. On the 'Get Voices' tab it says that I could go to http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ to get voices, but i can't see how to download them. I don't know how to install voices from other platforms, either. Can someone help me get another german voice? Regards, floeze
-
Thanks for the feedback. It's a good idea, but unfortunately I'm not actively developing the project anymore, as I currently have other priorities. The program is open-source, so anyone willing to help is welcome.

First, I need to say that this a superb app, and you guys are doing a fantastic job. Thank you! Would be great if you allow a feature to take exclusive control of the speaker. For example, I am listening to my music, while working, then I need to use your app in the middle to listen to some text; would be great if your app can take control of the speaker which will make everything else silent, and play the text/sound; as soon as it ends, it can release the speaker, and I can continue with my music....
-
I confirm that it stopped working at some point, I think it stopped working under Windows 10. However, I don't actively develop the program anymore. Sorry about that :( It's open-source, so you're welcome to fix it if you want :)

Hi, App works great for reading from the clipboard, I have selected the "Read selected text [vs clipboard]" checkbox and assumed it will read the text I've selected on the web browser or other locations, but it keeps on reading the text in the clipboard and not the selected, am I doing something wrong ? Regards, Idan
