YeoSoft Text to MP3 Speaker - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Your program is reported virus-infected. Why?
This problem is due to over-protection of some anti-virus software. We strongly declare that our software is virus-free guaranteed! If you found this problem please download a new version from our homesite.
2.
I installed L&H TruVoice American English, but can't select them or play with them.
This engine is designed only for Microsoft Agent. It's not supported by software based on MS speech tech.
3. When I load a text file, some text is truncated. Why?
This is a limitation of trial version. The free trial is only for demo use, so the text input is limited to 500 characters.
4. The converted audio file doesn't contain all the text, why?

It means you've made a part of text selected. Then our software will only convert your selection.

5. I can't launch the program, why?
In most cases it's due to lack of sapi engine (version 4 or 5 or both). Please click Downloads to get the two free sapi engines installed (WinXP users don't need sapi 5).
6. Your program cracks when reading. Why?
  If you are using sapi 5 engine, the software is designed to support xml tags. So if your text has "<" only, instead of "<>", it's possible to incur errors.
7. Can I get free upgrades and tech support?
Yes, of course, you only need to pay once and you will get life-long update and support. That's one of the reasons why you should register.
8.

Where can I get help on general operation?

Please visit our help page for instruction on UI and text reading and conversion.

9.

What should I do when the engine can't pronounce a word correctly?

Please choose sapi 5 engine first, and insert pronunciation tag for this word as instructed in our Pronunciation Tags Guideline.
10. I can load DOC and PDF files. But your program doesn't speak. Why?
First please make sure you upgrade to version 4.5. Then please make sure you've highlighted the text you want to speak and pressed Ctrl+C.
