Download read aloud api failed

[tccrabyoguy]

Voice for Read Aloud API download failed, read aloud with legacy TTS without downloading new read aloud api maybe is a good idea. Now I'm not able to use Read Aloud function at all. Please check it. Thank you!

Works fine for me. Simply try it again in a little while, presumably the
server was overloaded. And all legacy engines are still available via
Read Aloud configuration button.

Thanks for you reply. I can select the legacy Read Aloud function now. And I have one more problem. When I trying to close the Read Aloud, the whole ebook-reader closed. When click the 'Close Read Aloud' or click the 'Read Aloud' in toolbar or click esc, the reader closed for all the three cases, please check it, thank you!

One more bug in Read Aloud, when I click the line which I want to read, the highlight is gone and when I click several times, the page jumped to other pages occasionally, please check it too, thanks!

BTW, all I mentioned bugs are about legacy read aloud function.

Which legacy TTS engine are you using?

[tccrabyoguy (tccrabyoguy)]

"Legacy windows engine", I need multilanguage(English, Korean, Chinese etc) engine, the Piper Neural Engine don't have Korean voice, and Chinese voice is really weird. Modern Windows Engine do not support other languages, but only English.

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every alternate Friday.
