BattousaiX 2 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I found 12 entries for "text to speech", and none of them addresses my issue, so I presume this is not a repeated topic. On the Mac "Option + ESC" (default shortcut) activates Speak Selection, which works very well in almost every other app. Like most, I use Evernote extensively and frequently have sections of notes read back to me. The issue is with Evernote Desktop, which I prefer over the web app, which doesn't have this problem. In the desktop app, Speak Selection only works on the first selection. When I want to have another selection readout, it starts reading from the top of the note instead of reading just the selection. If I go to another note, the same thing happens. If I restart Evernote, it will read the first selection, and again after that, it will start reverting to the top, ignoring the selection. Evernote for iPhone and iPad do not have this problem. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. ___ Evernote 10.28.3-mac-mas-public (458898) Editor: v138.1.17456 Service: v1.45.0 Link to comment

Yes, the issue was resolved by Evernote Support. It turns out that the problem only happens with the Apple Mac Store version. Downloading the app directly from evernote.com resolved the issue. I am not sure whether it will work for you, but there is no harm in trying. Best, B-X 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,776 Posted March 29, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Thanks for posting. This matches a pattern with the AppStore download. It is the same software, but it runs in a sandbox, sort of protected mode. We had a similar problem with sharing - it only worked with the direct install. Link to comment
