Dev channel update to 91.0.838.3 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 91.0.838.3 to the Dev channel. Before we get started, we wanted to make sure you’re aware of an opportunity we mentioned last week. If you’re a Collecti...
Hello.
I had to go back to version, 90.0.789.1 to be able to use the text to speech feature.
In my experience, from version 90.0.789.1 onwards, Microsoft Online voices are not shown in the voice configuration section in Edge Linux.
I have tried these versions on Fedora 32:
microsoft-edge-dev-90.0.789.1-1.x86_64 - Voice Ok
microsoft-edge-dev-90.0.796.0-1.x86_64 - Voice Bad
microsoft-edge-dev-90.0.810.1-1.x86_64 - Voice Bad
microsoft-edge-dev-90.0.818.6-1.x86_64 - Voice Bad
microsoft-edge-dev-90.0.782.0-1.x86_64 - Voice Bad
microsoft-edge-dev-91.0.838.3-1.x86_64 - Voice Bad
Please consider the following suggestions.
In many cases it is better to use the text-to-speech function on the page in normal mode (not in reading mode).
I also think that it is important to have an option to read the text selection, instead of entering the reading mode.
On the other hand, the new options to configure the reading mode are welcome and very useful.
I regret not being able to use them, as Edge's voice system is broken in the version microsoft-edge-dev-91.0.838.3-1.x86_64.

gookey Let me ask if this is a known issue. In the meantime, there also used to be some known problems with the Online voices when you have certain settings enabled. Specifically, are you using Strict tracking prevention, or do you have video autoplay settings set to "Block"? If so, does changing them to something less strict help?
