[Athen] Issue with Firefly/Kurzweil 3000

[Kluesner, Bryon]

Thanks Todd,

I will double check with the student on whether they are using a Mac and update to the current patch and see if this works.

Hi Byron:

We experienced this with Mac users back in November 2016.  It is likely saying "circumflex".  Updating to the current patch fixed it.  Seemed to have something to do with the OCR processing, and it only occurred in the Mac version at that time.

HI all,

A student who uses Kurzweil 3000 on his laptop stated that every time the voice gets to quotation marks and occasionally apostrophes, it will say "circumplex" no matter what voice or item he is trying to have read to him. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a fix?

Thanks,

Bryon
