I would entirely agree. I would love to see and am quite quite surprised to not see that the ability to control/set the volume of the TTS separately has not been implemented within this firmware update. I was entirely expecting/hoping that the volume control for the TTS would be a entirely separate ordeal all together, very very similar to most of our, if not all of our lovely screen reader volume control abilities to change and set them as we see fit. Having it not be effected at all by the volume control for our media one bit.
You know? So we can set up the volume level of the TTS within the global options under voice settings and whatever we then set the volume level at in here, it simply stays, just as does the rate, pitch and whatever selection of voice we see fit does. Other than that though, I am quite happy with the update, great job! And, wishing each and every single one of you, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Christ in Christmas!
