SuperNova 15.04 comes with an exciting new language feature, as well as improvements and fixes to issues and bugs.

NEW: Automatic Language Switching

Frustrated by multiple languages in a document or website? With automatic language switching, the speech function recognises a change in alphabetic scripts and changes the synthesiser language accordingly; making screen reading a more fluent experience.

If you have the appropriate synthesiser language installed, you can automatically switch between many languages including Latin, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Greek, Hebrew, Hindi (Devanagari) and Russian (Cyrillic) scripts.

Read our tutorial for more information.

Note that not all synthesisers support this feature. To learn more about available synthesiser languages please contact Dolphin or your local Dolphin dealer.
