What's new, updating SpeakOn, mailing list and contact information:
Latest version 2.0.2 - 17 August 2008
Updating SpeakOn from a previous version:
The most elegant way to upgrade is within SpeakOn itself. In the Manager application, use the SpeakOn 'Main' [Alt] (9) key to bring up the Main Menu. Go down to the 'Check for update' menu item, select it and confirm that you want to update. The Update task starts and after confirming again, download starts. Once downloaded, SpeakOn is shutdown and the installer is started automatically; just follow the installer instructions in the usual way.
Alternatively you can install on top of your current installation from:
http://www.a-technic.net/SpeakOn/install/SpeakOnInstall.exe
The above methods work on most computers but not all. If you have upgrade problems for any reason, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Remove SpeakOn using 'Add and remove programs' in the Control Panel.
2. Delete the folder C:\SpeakOn (assuming you installed SpeakOn before on the 'C' drive). Important: Do not delete any other SpeakOn folders (folders starting with the phrase 'SpeakOn_' on your C drive). These folders contain any media that you may have downloaded before or settings information.
3. Download and install the new version of SpeakOn from:
http://www.a-technic.net/SpeakOn/install/SpeakOnInstall.exe
Depending on the version you upgrade from, you may have to specify again any usernames and passwords to services that you may be using but all your previous media will be preserved.
