I just tried creating a new text to speech file, and received a message in the logs about not enough credits. I don't recall this costing anything previously. Please advise.

Today the wav files were created, but they are invalid. ie. pressing test produces a windows error ding. And the files don't play from Windows explorer, unlike the old wav files from a few months ago that were generated which work properly.

The particular backend functionality, for this has been discontinued but we are working on a replacement. It should not take too long. We should have this ready in about two weeks we would expect.

Please, use this alternative text to speech functionality where you can specify specific text to be played for each Alert Number, in the meantime:
General Settings Window: Text to Play When This Alert Triggered (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Alerts >> Alert Settings)

The new speech generator is now released. You can generate speech here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=TextToSpeech

And from within Sierra Chart in the same place in Global Settings >> General Settings >> Alerts.

Thanks for getting this working again so quickly.

However, this is a very abrupt voice with a much lower quality and lower pronunciation ability compared to the previous text to speech generator.

It's a bit jarring having different voices speaking the alerts all day. A bit of an uncanny valley thing happening.

Is there any way to have the TTS in the same voice as before?
