Read Aloud stops completely

I have a Premium Plus subscription. I am using it to listen to a long Italian text. The problem is that the audio stops completely when it encounters certain combinations of characters.

« Ma tu, Joy, perché non vai su a piedi, assieme a Bruno? ».

It has something to do with the character ». In the example I gave, Read Aloud kept reading until that character and then stopped there, keeping the » highlighted. This doesn’t happen every time Read Aloud sees this character but always when it’s in this combination: ? ». .There are others, I think. The only way to move forward is to read the rest of the page in silence, turn the page and restart Read Aloud.

Thanks for reporting this, and sorry about it. I’ve fixed it, so please refresh your Readlang browser tab and give it another try. The fix isn’t specific to that one combination, so any run of punctuation like this now gets stepped over, and if playback ever does get stuck on a character, pressing play again should now carry on.

Working as promised. Thank you!
