Demo doesn't work (V.Important !!!!)

[ketybrown]

Hello.

After downloading all the files, I tried running it on Safari as well as on Google chrome but it just doesn't work. I kept refreshing the page but still no sound. Can you please tell me what's the cause of this?

Do you get any errors in the JS console?

[ketybrown]

Funny thing, I didn't. Just when I run the demo html file on my browser or even as much as create my own as seen in examples on this website and on google, nothing happens.

Without an error, I guess this is a browser bug and not ours (or else an exception should be thrown). I've seen bugs where chrome fails to play sounds, maybe this is that. Worth filing a bug with a testcase on them.

So what do you suggest I do, test with other browsers? Cos I face the same problem using Safari as well..

[ketybrown]

Can you reupload or something? Or may I know what browser you're using?

http://syntensity.com/static/espeak.html works for me on firefox and chrome. if it doesn't work for you, i'd file a bug on the browser that fails to run it properly.

Yes, this link http://syntensity.com/static/espeak.html works while its still on the cloud, but upon downloading it to my computer, it doesn't sound out the words written, not even the default text of "Never gonna give up". Is there something I'm missing or something I need to change in the file linkage or something like that?

I also tried running it on Chrome for Mac, same story.

Think I found what's wrong. it works on my windows machine but not on my Mac. I think there should be some config setting that Mac doesn't approve, but yet, does not prompt as an error.

For future references, this only works on Windows machines not mac.

Thanks for bearing the trouble. :+1:
