There are some instructions at viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6556 on how to transfer TextAloud articles and dictionaries to a new computer.
We currently do not have a way to export and import settings, we'll try to get this in a future update.

Re: Microsoft Mark, any way to enable it for textaloud?
TextAloud does not currently support the Microsoft Mark voice, there is more detail on the issue at viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8498&p=20436#p20436
We hope to support Microsoft Mark (and other Microsoft Mobile voices) in a future version of TextAloud

Re: How do I set the default voice, when reading online.
If you're using the TextAloud extension for Chrome, one way to handle this is in the extension, set the voice to "TextAloud Voice". You can also configure the voice used by the TextAloud floating toolbar like this. Then set the default voice in the TextAloud application. You can use the Se...

Re: New shortcut key in word.
We don't have a 'stop' shortcut available in the Word extension because you can configure a system wide hotkey in TextAloud that will work as a stop button whenever TextAloud is speaking, regardless of how speaking was started. In the TextAloud application, click Control Center -> Settings, and in t...

Re: Possible to run TextAloud on M1 Mac?
TextAloud currently runs on Windows only, the only way to run TextAloud on a Mac is to use a Windows virtualization product.
We hope to develop a Mac version in the future but there no estimate on availability now.

If you're hearing a small pause at voice change tags we have no control over it, the voice change tags are actually processed by the SAPI5 speech interface. Let me know if that is not the problem.

That's correct. You can use the Microsoft voices on your web site, but licenses for voices we sell at NextUp are for personal use only.
