How long does it to process a refund invoice to work?

Winstone Choi 11 years ago in SitePal Platinum updated 11 years ago 2
The internet banking system for my credit card company still shows that I should pay for thoses mistakenly purchased invoices (538579,538580,538581) which were cancelled on your part. My account information shows that your published refund invoices for them (respectively 538635, 538634, 538633). Because the total amoun is not small, I am worried about if the cancellation for the invoices are on the process. Please let me know if you are properly working on them. Thanks for your kind support in advance!

Our full body characters -

http://www.workboy.com/gil/sitepalful...

here are a few more details -
* this demo is running off our development platform and is not yet fully optimized.
* has been tested on iOS and Android - iPhone 3 won't work, 4 is iffy, and older Android versions may be a problem - we are still determining where to draw the line.
* have not paid attention to Windows phone just yet (no offence anyone)
* yes we will have different guys and gals to choose from.
* schedule - can't commit to a date yet, but we are getting close.

International Phone Number Charges

Karen Cote 15 years ago in SitePal Gold updated 15 years ago 2
Is the international phone number on the audio for my avatar toll free? Can I call it if I'm in Canada or anywhere else for that matter and not get charged?

Thank you.
Answer

Karen -
The SitePal 1-800 number is toll free from the US and Canada.
We will modify the user interface to correctly reflect this information.

CORS policy access for google cloud voices

Francisco Iacobelli 5 days ago in SitePal Platinum updated by Gil Sideman 4 days ago 2

In my application, whenever I call sayText with one of the traditional voices all works fine. Now, I have a platinum plan and I linked my google cloud api key. All voices work when I test them inside SitePal. However, when I try to call those voices from sayText in localhost:5000, I get the following chain of errors:

Hello Francisco!

The parameters you are using for the say text call appear to be invalid.

EID (the engine ID)  is 91 - there is no such engine. 

I think you have the EID and VID switched.  The Google 3rd party engine is 11.

If you switch those two values in the API call it should work fine.

Please check & let me know if I can further assist.

Regards,

Gil

Both TTS and VocalWare stopped working

Emanuele Sgarra 1 month ago updated by Gil Sideman 1 month ago 3

In the case of TTS it just doesn't let me see the avatar, making it impossible for me to let the voice pronounce what I wrote. In the second case, it loads and loads until it says: "500 Origin Error"

Hello!

TTS ocassionally fails when using SSML

Amogh Lele 4 months ago in SitePal Platinum updated by Gil Sideman 4 months ago 1

When SSML is included in the text, TTS functionality will ocassionally fail.

A simple way to replicate this is to use the TTS demo at ttsdemo.com with the following text:

Shop opening times in Tokyo vary, but most department stores and malls open around <say-as interpret-as="time" format="hms24">10:00</say-as> or <say-as interpret-as="time" format="hms24">11:00</say-as> and close by <say-as interpret-as="time" format="hms24">20:00</say-as> or <say-as interpret-as="time" format="hms24">21:00</say-as>. Smaller shops and shopping streets may have different hours. Is there a specific shop or area youre interested in?

I believe it's due to the SDK chunking text into 2 separate chunks, which I saw in the API requests being made
Here are the two API requests made below. If you look closely, the first one gets cut off at <say-as interpret-as="time" format=, and the next request continues from where it was cut off ("hms24").

Image 257


The API documentation for the sayText() function mentions that two streams would be used for 900 characters, but this is well below the 900 character limit as can be seen. Even if it exceeds 900 characters, we would like it to seamlessly be able to use SSML since it's an important part of our application.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Want to captures issue that raised from sitepal

gurpreetsingh936 6 months ago in SitePal Gold updated by Gil Sideman 6 months ago 2

I'm working with an avatar component in a React.js application, and I want to know if there's a programmatic way to detect issues during various stages, such as:

  • Loading the avatar

  • Triggering the avatar to speak

  • Stopping the avatar

Are there any callback functions, events, or listeners that notify us when something goes wrong?

For example, I want to handle situations like:

  • Subscription/plan has expired

  • Streaming limit has been reached

  • The service is temporarily unavailable

  • Network connectivity issues

Is there any built-in error handling mechanism or event hook that can notify us when such issues occur?
