Read Delay is ignored when using voice

When using voice tags, the read delay is completely ignored and text reads at a fixed (very slow) speed. No other settings seem to be able to change this. Is it based entirely on audio clip length, even with "Stop Previous Sound" checked?

Huh, voice tags should just replace their content with other tags before parsing...


e.g.

voice tag named "test" with the contents: "<c=red>"

then <c=red> and <v=test> would essentially be the same thing.


Juuust to make sure, what are the contents of the voice tag you're inserting? I want this to be able to reproduce the issue, too.

Oh, I see, I was expecting it to use the settings on the STM object, but it overwrites them instead. I was just trying out the default "royalty". Removing the embedded readDelay fixed it.

Awesome! I named a lot of these tags back in 2016, if I were to redo it now they'd probably be named something a bit more clear as to how they work. They're just an in-house way to type repeat strings easily.
