Teamviewer might have lags (we already have ones, we do not need else). A video filmed with a mobile would be 100% proof of what happens.

I have tested your files carefuly but have found nothing wrong. What is your OS? Could you capture a video?

Do you have an email address??
I can't upload attachments.. It wont let me.
I can't save the setup file either, but I have taken a screen-shot of it. I'll forward that with the sound files when you give me an email address.
You can get mine from the forum login..

Thanks

Steve

This is a bug. Please send me that .Stopwatch file along with speech files.

What?

Thanks for that
I have now had a play.

Question 1

I noted that the unlicensed version can only handle 3 time-out alarms. I need a lot more. However, while testing it became confused, with the user-chosen count-down speech files bearing timing resemblance to when they should be generated.
=> occasionally it spoke two files together even though they were supposed to come out at different times.
=> the "3" was announced at 10 seconds

etc.

Would this be resolved with a license?

Question 2
Can a personal license be staged on multiple personal computers?

Thanks

Yes. See Pre-timeout alarms and colors section.

Sail-boat (yacht) racing often has several groups of boats that start at different intervals.

The starting sequence requires a audible (speech) count-down that requires a dedicated person to call the time.

This requires a dedicated volunteer.

Can Xnote timer be progammed to trigger the announcement of different user-recorded speech (which may include instructions to the start committee) at various parts of the count-down sequence?

The timer needs to autoreset at the end of the sequence and start a new sequence for subsequent starts.

Please advise.

Thanks

Steve
