pauses in between questions are irritating

Yes, lots of folks have mentioned that.

Thing will be faster in the new version, 1.0.0.1. It can still be a bit slow on my laptop, which is now laden with a million programs, but it blazes along on a 2 year old, entry level desktop.

Download won't run on Mac

The download does not run on Mac.

A Mac version is on my wishlist, but it might be a year before I start.

You can try parallels - one customer plans to try it and I'll update on results - but otherwise, it's

Some names are mispronounced

The animal coaches mispronounce some names - not what we want the kids to hear.

Version 1.0.0.1 includes an auto-check/test of each name as you add it, with an option to tweak, test, and then save the new variation. I'll try to post some tips on tweaking the pronunciation. Any objection to sharing new pronunciations - i.e. collectively improving the database?

Regards,

Casey

Trouble with 10, 4 and 5 on "Amazing Gazing"

A number of kids and adults report that it is challenging to get 10 oclock as well as 4 or 5 on "Amazing Gazing".

I will recalibrate this for the next release. Any consensus on where she appears to be looking - e.g. between the 9 and 10 or between the 10 and 11?

Thanks,

Casey

Crashing on Windows Vista

If you get an "Automation Error" (with lengthy details), you are probably running Windows Vista. Some of my third party components in Version 0.9.0.92 were not compatible with Vista. FaceSay 1.0.0.1 should resolve those issues.
