@Kovid, regarding TTS
Hi Kovid,
When you have some time please would you cast your expert eye on this post in the 'TTS to MP3' plugin thread and its follow-ups. Briefly, a user (Spanish locale, I think) who, until recently, has been successfully using calibre Viewer's Readaloud function and my 'TTS to MP3' plugin with some 3rd-party purchased Ivona Voices is now getting a strange error message. Both the calibre Viewer and my plugin give this same error message when trying to use an Ivona voice Code:
OSError: C:\r\src\src\calibre\utils\windows\winsapi.cpp:281 :Failed to speak:[hr=0x80040154 wCode=0] Clase no registrada |

That error is pretty generic it means some DLL is missing/unregistered. Sadly I dont know of a way to debug it. A system repair/retore point might help.

You may be able to use the dependency walker with the file in the error message:
https://dependencywalker.com/ Essentially, all missing dependencies would be marked as red so you can look for the files. I'd bet that one of the Microsoft Visual Studio Redistributibles is missing. You can find them here: https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/...f-95f26a218cc0 You can install all of them. |

Thanks to you both for responding. There's nothing I can do at my end because I can't replicate the problem. All 3 of my Ivona voices are working as well as they've always worked with the same versions of Win10 and calibre 64-bit as the user is running.
I'll direct the user to this thread. |
