Re: Textaloud is reading all css in webimages
Are you seeing this issue in the extension for Chrome? If the page does not require a login, Is is possible to send a link to a page so I can give it a try myself? You can post here or email me at jim@nextup.com

Re: Textaloud is reading all css in webimages
Thanks for the example Andrew, the extension is simply not excluding html image tags. I'll look at fixing this, but I think you should be able to work around the problem for now using a TextAloud pronunciation dictionary entry. Go to the TextAloud main window, and from the main menu click Control Center -> Pronunciation Dictionary Maintenance.
Then create a pronunciation dictionary entry that filters html image tags like this:
Set the Text Matching dropdown to "Regular Expression", and for the expression, use this:
<img.*?>
Then set the Pronounce Using dropdown to "Skip Text".
That seems to work when I try it here, let me know if this doesn't work for you.
