Hi James,

Could you explain what you have tried to get it working ?

It is the mentalcalculation software, right ? On which OS ? Are there any errors ?

What is happening ? What are you expecting ?

Have you tried the latest version ? aka the 0.5 version

YES IT IS MENTAL CALCULATION, WINDOWS 10. THERE ARE NO ERRORS, JUST MAKES THE BEEP SOUND WHEN NUMBER APPEARS AS IS FALSE ON SPEECH TICK BOX.

What is happening ? What are you expecting ?
NOTHING HAPPENS WITH RESPECT TO SPEECH. THE PROGRAMS RUNS NORMALLY WITH SPEECH BOX TICKED OR NOT, AND NO SPEECH

I encourage you to try the 0.5 version; even though that version is not new.

The problem might have been on our servers. We had some problem some time ago.

I should mention that you now need an internet connection to get the speech synthesis to work (contrary to older versions of that software)

As an alternative, you could try https://www.sorobanexam.org/mentalcalcul... which is the same but in your browser.

Oh my bad. You were right.

There was an issue on Windows with mentalcalculation.py.
The script/app was throwing SSL certificate error when downloading sound file.

I fixed it, and made a new release 0.5.1.
You will find it on https://www.sorobanexam.org/anzan.html in the next day.
