Thankyou so much to everyone who worked on the TTS! I've been juggling multiple TTS solutions for years now, and I can finally simplify this all into Zotero like I've always dreamed!

I've been paying around with this and i have to say fantastic job everyone. These are great additions to an already great tool.

Thank you.

Thanks for the update, and after reading the full details, still not being able to add a periodical and its contents to Zotero, apparently an old issue. This function appears to have been planned for the 5.0 version... and this functionality is nowhere in sight.

I'm so thankful for the automatic installation of JRE and Zotero Tools in Libre Office! Thanks so much guys! You made my day ;)

I just updated and the banner at the top says "You've been upgraded to Zotero {$version}!"

Oops! :)

Just tried the Read Aloud feature -- oh my, it seems *perfect*! I was recently looking into text-to-speech apps for reading PDFs. My aim is to replace some of my podcast listening with listening to research papers. But of course where are all those PDFs stored for me? In Zotero -- so having a really nice text-to-speech feature in Zotero is amazing. Bonus points if there's some super slick, amazing way to annotate or add notes while listening on mobile!

I just updated and the banner at the top says "You've been upgraded to Zotero {$version}!"

@dsquared: As far as we know that's caused by some interaction with a plugin (e.g., a plugin having incomplete localizations), but enough people see it that we've added an extra manual replacement for the next version to make sure it doesn't happen.
