The following new features are available in WinFlash Educator:

SAPI5 -  The improved quality of SAPI5 is now supported in Educator's text-to-speech (TTS) functionality

Independent TTS Engines for Q & A - Independent engines can be assigned to the Questions and Answers. This allows, for example, an English-optimized engine to be used for the Questions and a German-optimized engine to be used for the Answers. TTS for Question and Answer can be enabled independently and the engine for reading the Intro TTS can be selected to be either of the two engines

TTS Export - TTS can now be exported to a single file or file per pair. The output can be programmed for any combination of QText, AText, QAudioFile and AAudioFile giving total flexibility in exporting your content for audio study

Pop Up Mode -  When enabled, WinFlash minimizes itself after each completed pair, popping up with a new pair after a programmable interval.  Generate a continuing stream of Q&A's while working on other projects

Study Session Timer - Session elapsed time optionally shown on main window. More comprehensive data on study time is displayed in the Advanced Statistics for the file

Advanced Statistics Sorting - Advanced Statistics can now be sorted by any desired column - including Category and Leitner Box

Direct-record Mp3 - Store your audio recordings as either .wav or .mp3 format with three-level quality selection

Audio for Introduction - A recorded file may now be stored for the Introduction

Note: Old  .FLS and .FLU files will work just fine with v11.  Simply open them with the new program and the new entries for the .FLD file will be automatically created the first time you open the file in v11.  However, files created with v11 may NOT be compatible when used with older versions.  See Backward Compatibility for detailed information on this topic.
