Text To Speech 1.4 Update

The extension has been updated to version 1.4.

Improvements:

• The premade example deck now provides a clearer explanation of how commands work, with more comprehensive examples for all TTS services.
• The TTSKStatus.speaking variable now more accurately indicates when the TTS is speaking and when it has stopped.

Bug Fixes:

• Addressed multiple issues related to the Polly TTS engine:
  • The TTSKPollySpeak command now correctly displays the Neural and Input Type options.
  • The Input Type option allows selection between regular (non-SSML) and manual (SSML) types.
  • Random voice selection is now accurate, based on whether a Neural voice is chosen, without errors in selecting the incorrect voice type (neural/classic).
  • Selecting a voice that does not support neural/classic features or providing incorrectly formatted SSML no longer renders TTS unresponsive. Reloading Bridge is no longer required to recover TTS functionality.
• Addressed other minor issues.

How to update:

4. Restore anything you backed up in step 1.
5. You’re back in business!
