Chowmain - Advanced Announcements Driver

Recommended Posts

My announcements stopped working about a month ago and it was due to voice RSS not working.  I switched everything to ispeech.org but I can't seem to figure out how to link everything to the correct announcement.

Here is some sample code.

The second screen shot has my announcements, I can't remember how to link the code to the specific to announcement.  It's not working anymore.

I wanted my dealer to add this driver, but they said that it was only currently working with the Microsoft Edge browser, rendering it not usable on mobile phones.  Is that correct?  The mentioned reaching out and were waiting to hear back.  Figured I would ask myself to see what was right.  Thanks.

The recording functionality was blocked by a few of the popular web browsers and as such recording off of your mobile device stopped working.  So yes that is correct.

announcements in general still work just fine.

Isn’t their another 3rd party driver that allows this type of functionality?

Yes there is... @slash007 can search the forums and find it... but I don’t think it would be fair to post a link in Alan’s topic.  As it happens, I have both drivers and a third one that does the same sort of thing and all of them have their pros and cons. If I’m not mistaken, Alan’s was first and definitely best of breed when it came out.

Anyone having problem with Advanced Announcements today?

 

After working fine for as long as I can remember, announcements are being generated “late” (or slowly) with partial text and a some weird speaker pop at the end.  The problem is clearly with the generated audio file.  I’m on driver version 20171113 and using voicerss 
 

Was fine about 8 hours ago.
