When I try to name my Flight Modes using the TextToSpeech function, my radio refuses to acknowledge my change to 'Normal Mode' or 'Normal' and insists on still calling out 'Idle 1'.
I have tried to download TTS which seems to have completed, but my radio still does not play nice !!
What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

first please set Flight Mode where you want to change the Voice Output to active.
Then click at the Set button and there change flight mode Voice Output. Confirm it by pressing ENTER key - this is very important.

Within few miliseconds new voice is generated. It is only required that your internet connection is working.

Also please make sure you are running the latest 1.0.15 firmware.

Thank you Tomas,
I have typed in the new TTS name for the Flight Mode many countless tens of times to different spoken outputs, then pressing ENTER key shows the written display of new TTS wording correctly as requested, but still does not output the correct spoken wording, nor does using the Flight Mode switch! The 'forward (Play) triangle' button does not output this new speech either when I change it!
I can get Idle 1 / Idle 2 to change, but does not output any other wording!

I have just tried again to check my working and still not outputting correctly.
The new TTS seems to be entered correctly, but when I try to play the new entry, the radio does not output the correct wording, just repeats the existing 'Idle 1'.
When I go back to 'Flight Modes' to try again the previous new entry has reverted back to 'Idle 1'.
Seems to be that using the 'return key' (ENTER) does not enter correctly?

We released new update 1.0.16 that has feedback when setting up new voices + few additional improvements.
You should see why it does not work.

Could you please retry now? Then we can find a proper solution.

Could you let me know what is your model name?
If using some special characters please try to rename model to exclude them.

Thank you Tomas!
I upgraded the radio to version 16 just now, and tried the new Flight Mode name.
Initially on first playing the new name the system still announced 'Idle 1', but on next trying again the play announce 'Normal Mode' - my chosen name correctly!
Changing this again, the correct new TTS detail was correctly announced first time!
Great, thank you.
The name of my model was Long Ranger W1.
Thank you again Tomas.
