1 day ago Using the Speech Synthesis example, for me I get the following results:
- Chrome 130.0.6723.70 (stable): 'speak' button does not work
- Chrome 131.0.6778.13 (beta): works OK
- Chrome 132.0.6797.0 (canary): works OK
We haven't changed anything about how Speech Synthesis works, so it looks a lot like a Chrome bug that's already been fixed in v131. This bug looks related and indeed in v130 if I change the voice to Google US English before pressing 'speak' it does work, so it might be some problem with trying to play a default Microsoft voice.
Can you confirm it works for you in Chrome beta v131 or newer?
Problem description
Hi,
Got a classroom of 16 pcs. Latest chrome update seems to have stopped speech synthesis. Works in other browsers.
Let me know please if you have the same issue.
Attach a .c3p (Please just try your speech synthesis demo in chrome)
Steps to reproduce
Try to make it speak
Observed result
It won't speak
Expected result
It should speak
More details
First affected release: It seems to be a chrome update - my old c3 builds no longer speak with chrome's built in tts
System details
Tried on all the computers in my school. It slowly started happening one by one. This tells me it was a chrome update that stopped the plugin from working.
