Notable Changes and Corrections
The play button in the voice gallery does not change state
The play button would not change state when pressed, which made it difficult to stop the audio. This has now been fixed. #11072
Initial pause ignored until script is saved
When adding a pause before the first text block, speechMaker would ignore it until the script had been saved. This should now work as expected. #11067
Forward/back buttons sometimes not enabled on preview
In certain situations, the forward/back buttons would not be enabled when previewing a text block. This has been addressed. #11161
