Now available from App Central. Enjoy! Weeks of coding and testing, along with bug fixing, have come to an end. But more important, hopefully now all users should be able to run the Extended Dictionary again, as it now should handle even the new Vocalizer voices.
Great thanks goes to the Beta-testers who volunteered to help out in the testing process. And, thanks to all users who has left me feedback on the app, in the past. What's New In Version 0.65 - Updated the Language Specific Voice Register. The Vocalizer voices under Window-Eyes, should now be recognized - along with other voices. - As part of the upgrading process, the user will be asked, if he wants to keep his current Dictionaries active. Should he decide to keep the Dictionaries active, all his Voice- and Software-Specific Dictionaries will remain untouched. Updated entries found in the Shipping Dictionaries, will not be merged with existing Dictionary files. Still, any new dictionaries created after the upgrade, will be build from the Shipping Dictionaries, and hence will include any updated entries. - The Extended Dictionary no longer merges your entries from the Native Window-Eyes Exception Dictionary, into your Voice-Specific Dictionaries. When a new Voice-Specific Dictionary is being created, the user now will be asked, if he wants the entries from the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary imported. Merging the entries from the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, has the benefit, that you can continue to enjoy the functionality of your old entries. Still, merged entries, also have proven to be problematic, in certain cases. Furthermore, you might not want to have the entries merged, under another language, as this likely will mess up your synthesizer's pronunciation.You should be aware of the risk in merging the Native Window-Eyes Exceptions, and make your informed decision. Entries can always be manually transfered from the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, into your Extended Dictionaries at a later state. - New Radiobutton under the Extended Dictionary's entry in the App menu. Go to Settings, and tab over to Advanced Settings. The radiobutton controls whether or not, the entries of the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, should be merged, when creating new Voice-Specific Extended Dictionaries. It has three stages: YES: All your entries in the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, will automatically be merged into any Voice-Specific Dictionary, when created. NO: The entries found in the Native Window-Eyes Exception dictionary, will NOT be transfered to the Voice-Specific Dictionaries, when these are created. You will have to manually transfer the entries, should you ever want them included in your Extended Dictionary. ASK (Default): You will be asked for each new Voice-Specific Dictionary, that is about to be created. Answering Yes, or No, will respectively have a similar impact on the merging process, as if the Yes or No setting had been chosen. - Added a checkbox in the Settings dialog, for turning Verbose Messages On/Off. Turned On, the Extended Dictionary will speak a short message, when the app has started and is ready for operation - and also, a similarly short message will be given when the app is stopped, or Window-Eyes is closing down. Unchecking this checkbox - which is the default state - will surpress any of these messages. - Added an "About"-screen, under the Extended Dictionary App-menu. - New Hotkey, Alt-Shift-8. Opens the Table Of Headings feature. The feature will let you see which section headings are found, in any of the Dictionaries built for the currently active voice. - If GWAudiokit is active, progress tones will be heard, through the Dictionary Validation process. - Updated the shipping Dictionaries. The updated entries should now give a far better - and non-cluttered - user experience. Many of the updates, have been received from users; or, have been modified due to user feedback and suggestions. The Author wants to extend great thanks to each one who has contributed. - The User's Guide dialogs now can be maximized, ensuring the user can read all the contents. - Temporary files that are created by the apps in the package, will now be deleted when no longer in use. - The hotkeys of the Extended Dictionary app, will not be activated - until the Dictionaries have been loaded, and the app actually is ready for operation. This should prevent premature keystrokes, as reported to cause trouble. - Expanded the Log-files slightly. This so as to get more full details, should the app fail. - Fixed a major bug in the Backup and Restore routines. Shipping Dictionaries and Documentation files, should now be restored to the newest version possible. - Several minor bug fixes. - Minor fix to the Capture Spoken Phrases app. - Updated several chapters of the User's Guide, and added on a handful new ones.
