I get an error and can not download the latest pls file. BTW is there something like this for TextAloud as it seems that Ivona Reader that I been using is no longer being supported or developed by Ivona.

I just successfully downloaded the PLS Dictionary. You should be able to download the file from this page http://www.readtaclearly.com/text-to-sp ... tionaries/

Since the file is hosted by Microsoft Skydrive, it be pretty robust. Depending on the browser you are using you might have to right click to download.

Even though Ivona reader is not being supported or developed you can still use the PLS dictionary with TextAloud and Ivona Voices if you have an old Ivona Mini-reader or old Ivona Reader.

Thanks.. OneDrive must of been having issues at the time.. opened right up this time.

Percy can you tell me if there is an easy way to convert my lexicon over to TextAloud from Ivona Reader as it seems it will no longer be supported or updated from what I see on there site.

As you can see from my list below my Lexicon has quite a few IPA pronunciations for Japanese. So I need to go to a reader that is continually supported.

The above pronunciations cannot be ported to TextAloud but you can include them in PLS you have just downloaded and that updated PLS can then be used with Ivona voices in TextAloud, after you have followed the instructions in the PLS download.
