Hello, I was using the text to speech system from the Add Blocks menu in the editor. It was working fine, however, after a while, it just wouldn't play, I tried opening a new tab and reloading, but it wouldn't work, could someone help me?

i've been having the same issue, it's really irritating.

Hmm, it could be wifi errors, check your WI-FI network. if this is not the issues, please check if your browser is up to date or your computer doesn't support (text to speech software.

Sometimes it doesn't work when you type a mean or bad word too.

Hi, i noticed that there is a limit around 128 characters that TTS can read at once.

Text to speech scripts working fine on MIT server, but when I download them on MS Win 10 (up-to-date) the scripts not only do not play, they lock up and stay frozen. I tried off-loading them to another parallel script using broadcast … no soap.

Uninstalled, them re-installed Scratch: no joy!!

Wrote simple program with noting but speak “hello” and a diagnostic instruction; froze without getting to the diagnostic command.

Now I've blown the whole day on this.

Is there something else I need to do besides just install the extension??

The text-to-speech extension is currently broken on Scratch Desktop. See here for more information.
