If you get an error in Ondoku and don't know what to do

When using Ondoku, sometimes an error occurs and it doesn't read aloud.

An error may occur depending on the network environment or browser used .

Even with the same sentence, it may be possible to read it normally if you wait a little while and read it again .

However, once an error occurs, the sentence you want to read may not be read out well and an error may occur many times .

What caused the error? Error handling by type

There are two main reasons for the error

1. If you have problems with the text to read
2. If there is a problem with the usage environment

Let's take a closer look at each solution.

1. If you have problems with the text to read

Recommended number of characters

Ondoku has a recommended number of characters, and if you read more than that number of characters, reading errors are likely to occur.

• Normal time: 5000 characters
• When using SSML: 3000 characters

is the recommended number of characters.

text causes error

• Too long (more than the recommended number of characters)
• contains the symbol
• SSML is wrong

That's a big cause of reading errors. I'll show you how to deal with each.

What to do when you want to read long sentences

• Read long sentences in multiple times, such as 2 or 3 times.
• Put it in multiple text boxes and read it aloud using the conversation function

This makes it difficult for errors to occur.

What to do when reading text that contains symbols

Ondoku is a service that can read out characters .

If extra symbols are included, it may interfere with reading and may not be read aloud.

For example: & < > : ; " = etc.

In particular, symbols used in SSML tags are error prone. Symbols that are not related to reading should be removed as much as possible.

If you want the symbols to be read aloud, please take measures such as replacing the symbols with katakana or hiragana.

Example: = equal

2. What to do if there is a problem with the usage environment

What to do when some kind of blocking function is working

In the past, there was a case where "When I tried to read aloud on a computer at work, the HTML collapsed and I couldn't read it aloud."

The cause at this time was the firewall installed in the network environment at work.

I had the information department check it, and after that, I received a report that I was able to use it.

Please check if there is any blocking function in your network environment.

Try from another device (smartphone, tablet, PC)

If there is a problem with the usage environment and a reading error occurs even with the recommended environment, changing the terminal may solve the problem.

Please try using a different device from the one you were using before.

example

I couldn't read it on my computer → Try it on my smartphone in a mobile data communication environment → Try it on my colleague's computer → Try it on my tablet at home
