[Bug] Skip feature not working with Microsoft online voices
As the title says, skip feature doesn't work with Microsoft online voices
Tested with version 0.2.3
Thanks for investigating,
As for now, the SAPI5 skipping feature isn't supported by this engine (for any voice, not just online ones), and is listed here as an unsupported feature.
Unlike some features that are impossible to implement, this one is doable. If there are proper sentence boundary events, I can skip sentences based on their timestamps.
Do you think it's necessary to implement this? How many TTS clients (other than the test app) utilize this feature?
Note that the TtsApplication is mainly for testing basic SAPI5 TTS functionality, so the Skip button uses the SAPI5 built-in skipping feature provided by the TTS engine. Other TTS apps, such as Balabolka, may choose to stop speaking and then start speaking at the new position, in which case the SAPI5 skipping feature is not used.

It will be great to support this. I found this issue while using PDF-XChange Editor(you can use it for free) btw
