Thanx for the additional info.

We're looking into it.

Bonjour François - 

We are aware of a problem with the full body character where the callback function vh_sceneLoaded is not called. 

This problem was recently introduced (was missed when we deployed a bug fix update last week). 

A fix for this problem is currently being tested and will be deployed in the next few days.

So the problem is not with the function call to sayText, or with the TTS itself, it is only with the automatic initiation of speech when the page is loaded. 

Here is a corresponding full body example - click on the link below the character to hear it speak -

Hello François - 

Here is an example page that uses French text with the apostrophe character - and it seems to work just fine - perhaps I have misunderstood. Please take a look and let me know - if you see the problem perhaps try to explain it again. I used the text that you described earlier -   "je m'appelle l'avatar"

It works fine -

Hi Merl - 

I see the character loading - do you still see a problem or was the issue momentary?

Let me know - and if you still see a problem I'll have our team look into it asap.

Best,

Gil

ps. 

Allow me to offer a suggestion - I think your SitePal character would perform better if using a professionally recorded voice. We offer 'Voice Talent' services in the SitePal store - so you can place your order online through us, or engage any voice talent provider online to create an mp3 recording for you. 

Hi Peter - please see embed instructions here -

Let me know if this resolved the issue for you.

Hello François,

We have the same "single quote" character in English words as well.

I think the solution is to use "double quotes" to bracket the text parameter.

So instead of 

sayText('je m'appelle l'avatar',4,4,4)  

use

sayText("je m'appelle l'avatar",4,4,4)  

let me know if that works for you.

Regards

Gil

Thanks for letting us know.

We see the problem and should have it corrected shortly.

Joe - 

You can send via the API any text, including meta commands, that is supported by our voices (that our voices know how to speak).  Our voices support SSML tags, but not Darpa or IPA phenomes. 

(I should mention that only engine 2 and 3 voices support SSML - engine 4 voices do not.)

That said - I will look consult and get back to you with more info if I have it.

Best,

Gil
