    [ISSUE] I'm trying to use the standard version for a first test on a research paper. I'm on a Linux system. After I click the read aloud button the feature keeps loading indefinitely (plus the drop down menu is frozen on premium selection)

    Can you provide a Debug ID for Zotero startup through reproducing this, using the Help → Debug Output Logging → "Restart with Logging Enabled…" option?

    This sounds similar to

    Here's the debug ID : D1591670690 ; I've logged out, logged in to recreate the issue like the first time it happened after configuring the first subscription-selection popup (otherwise it wasn't showing anything related to tts in the debug report)

    PS: I tried it on windows, works perfectly

    Could you open Zotero Settings → Advanced → Config Editor and paste the value of "extensions.zotero.reader.readAloudVoices" here?
  • j03x
    extensions.zotero.reader.readAloudVoices

    {"en":{"region":null,"voice":null,"speed":0.9,"tierVoices":{"standard":"765061ed-en-US"}}}

    I have the same problem (see link above), and for me the value is
    extensions.zotero.reader.readAloudVoices {"en":{"region":null,"voice":null,"speed":1.1,"tierVoices":{"standard":"bdd0dcc3-en-US"}}}

    Thanks, we're looking into this.

    Experiencing the same issue on Linux Ubuntu. The exact same library performs perfectly with the new Read Aloud feature on Windows.
  • Samseefeld
    I'm having the same issues. Works fine in Windows, and Ubuntu keeps spinning.

    Same here on fedora with the following value for the mentioned config:
    ```
    {"en":{"region":"US","voice":"bdd0dcc3-en-US","speed":1,"tierVoices":{"standard":"bdd0dcc3-en-US"}}}
    ```
    I also looked at the output log when I click the button and it seems that it is fetching the info correctly, but cannot use/display it.
    ```
