Hello,

You will be able to get Clicker 5 to speak the words in the same way as Clicker 4.

As Anne-Marie suggested, changing the 'Speak each word as space is added' option in User Preferences to 'Always' is great if you're always wanting Clicker to speak when a word is finished. It saves you needing to make a change to every file you use.

If Clicker 5 still isn't speaking, you might need to install an update from our web site. It sounds like the changes Microsoft made in Internet Explorer 7 may be the cause. We had to make a couple of tweaks to Clicker when Microsoft released IE7 a while back.

If you still have no luck, let us know. Our technical support people will certainly be able to help you get Clicker working as you need it.
