Why can't I hear Sound?
It could be that the default media player isn't installed on your system.
Go to preferences and select your
preferred media player. You might need to download a media player (There are
download links on the preference page).
Mozilla
/ Firefox browers will use quicktime as the media player by default (at least
on windows and on the Mac). In order for the scripting to work, Quicktime
must be installing after the browser has been installed. If it has already
installed, it must be re-installed. Once the sound is playing you can jump backward or forward, a sentence at a time, by pressing the left or right arrow keys. When you pause the reading, the sentence that is being read will be selected. Once paused, if you press the left and right arrow keys, the selected sentences changes. When you hit play, the sentence that is selected will be played.
To start the sound track from the beginning, hit the 'a' key. Pressing any of the number keys will move the sound track back that amount of time. For example, if you hit the '2' key, the sound track will jump back 2 seconds.
You can also click on the indention that marks new paragraphs. The sound will begin playing at that location.
