Length Of Tts File

[Guest Tim]

Hi.

 

I have used your sample script, where a VBS file collects information from a website, stores it in a text file, and then the text file is read using TTS.

 

eg

iRet = WriteResultFile("[diarytext]{" & readWwwText & "}")

 

then play sound file

$RV[diarytext]

 

I appear to have reached a limit of this method. If I retrieve too much information from a website, then only the first couple of hundred characters ever get read. Is this a known issue? Is there a work around? I need to be able to play many paragraphs of text using this method.

 

The log file shows that the whole of the text it captured correctly, (all on 1 line, no carriage returns)

 

I have counted the number of characters played and the limit appears to be 1000 characters.

 

Thanks

v5.1.3 and before have the 1000 character limit for TTS-ed text.

 

This had been changed to be a MB - this change may make it into v5.1.4, but if not it will be in v5.1.5

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

How long are we looking?

If a fix is due within days then I will do nothing.

If it will be more than a couple of weeks I will write my own code to divide longer passages into 1000char chunks.

I was told about a week.... if it's easy to divide into 1000 char chunks I'd probably do it....
