E-triloquist Trouble-Shooting Tips:
Download
- Can't connect, or other errors starting the download: Sometimes the server gets busy and can't handle all the requests. Try again in an hour or two....
Install
- not a valid Win32 application: This error indicates that the download did not finish 100% (the
download was interrupted or did not complete for some reason). The downloaded
file should be 3.7mb without voices or 17.9Mb with voices. Delete the partially
downloaded file and then try the download again. Please contact us Contact Us if you
continue to have problems with the download.
Running E-triloquist for the First Time
- Errors on Windows-98: Version 5.4.1 solved a number of problems with Windows-98.
If you have downloaded the latest version and are still having trouble on Windows-98, please Contact Us for help.
- Run-Time Error 4xx - OLE Automation Error: E-triloquist requires a
Speech engine to actually do the talking for it. Any "Microsoft Speech API
compliant engine" should work. E-triloquist now optionally includes Male or
Female voices with the program. If you have a version prior to V4.1, or if you
downloaded E-triloquist without any voices, then you can download E-triloquist V5.7 with Male and Female voices now.
The System Requirements page has links to other speech engines, including languages
other than U.S. English.
E-triloquist Runs, but not perfectly
First make sure you are on the latest version. In E-triloquist, go to "Help" and then "Check for Program Updates...". This will
connect you to the E-triloquist web site and instruct you on how to upgrade if you are not on the most recent version.
Solving problems with the current version:
- Automation Error when selecting a Voice: Some programs now include pop-up characters which provide help and talk to you. Unfortunately, their voices are only partially compatible with E-triloquist.
If you have one or more of these voices installed, E-triloquist may try to use that voice and will fail. In the Voices list (under "Options" in E-triloquist), these voices may be listed as "TruVoice". Avoid selecting
one of these voices. If the error happens when you start E-triloquist, go to the "Options" menu, then the "Voices" tab. List the voices, select a different voice, and click "OK". You may need to close and re-start E-triloquist to get it to work.
- E-triloquist speaks once, then won't speak again: Same problem with the TruVoice voices.
- First try to select a different voice (preferably by a different manufacturer) and see if that solves the problem.
- If that does not work, Go to the View menu and select "Options...", then check the "Allow speech to be buffered" option.
If all else fails, or you're just unsure, Contact Us with the specifics of your difficulty and we will do what we can to help.
