Re: Shortcut for MS Word
Are you looking for a way to launch TextAloud from MS Word? If you have the TextAloud Add-in for Word installed, using any speak function in the TextAloud ribbon will launch TextAloud. If you want something more like a shortcut, the only way I know of to do it is with a VBA macro. The macro itself i...

Re: Cereproc Stewart voice and unwanted pauses
Here's a better explanation on how to configure the dictionary entry. Set the Text Matching dropdown to Simple Text, and place a comma in the text matching field. Set the Pronounce Using dropdown to Respell, and for the respelling use {{Pause=0.25}} You also need to set the Word Boundary Condition d...

Re: Cereproc Stewart voice and unwanted pauses
First check to make sure all TextAloud speaking rules and pronunciation dictionaries are disabled, just to make sure the some TextAloud configuration setting is not adding the pause. If this has no effect, all voices have some built in way of changing inflection and pausing at punctuation characters...

Re: Batch File Converter
The batch file converter works pretty much articles to audio files from the TextAloud main window using the To File button. So you can create an audio file using multiple voices only if the source file contains TextAloud voice change tags.
Let me know if that doesn't answer your question.
