Checklist

[X] I have used the search function for OPEN issues to see if someone else has already submitted the same bug report. (Note - if the bug report is about ZoTTS failing to start, please ignore this step and open a report anyway, start up failures can have various causes so it's easier to have separate issues for each, especially Linux users)
[X] I have also used the search function for CLOSED issues to see if the problem is already solved and just waiting to be released.
[X] I have described the problem with as much detail as possible.
[X] If the bug only to occurs with a certain paper, I will include its details.

Zotero version

7.0.7

ZoTTS version

1.3.0

OS

Mac

OS (specific)

macOS Sequoia 15.0.1

Steps to reproduce

Installed the ZoTTS plugin.
Closed and reopened Zotero.
Restarted computer just in case.
Checked that voices appeared in https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/web-speech-api/speak-easy-synthesis/ - they do.

Expected behaviour

Open with ZoTTS GUI buttons available.

Actual behaviour

Zotero opens with a dialog box that states, "ZoTTS, ERROR: ZoTTS failed to load TTS engines. Please submit a bug report for assistance." The GUI buttons for ZoTTS are also missing.

Hi @egli-nina, thanks for your bug report!

Can you navigate to the error console, from the top navigation bar click Tools > Developer > Error Console.

In the text box at the bottom, paste in the following lines and let me know what values you see for each:

Zotero.ZoTTS.data.tts.engines["webSpeech"].status
Zotero.ZoTTS.data.tts.engines["webSpeech"].errorMsg

Hello @ImperialSquid! Thanks for developing this :)

Both lines yield TypeError: Zotero.ZoTTS.data.tts.engines.webSpeech is undefined upon typing and

Uncaught TypeError: Zotero.ZoTTS.data.tts.engines.webSpeech is undefined

I believe I've found and solved the issue, just going to do some more testing to be sure but a fix should be released soon! 😊
