Frequently Asked Questions

OpenTeacher won't run on Windows!

To run OpenTeacher on Windows you need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package and .NET Framework 2.0. If that does not work, please file a bug report in Launchpad or send an e-mail.

OpenTeacher won't run on ArchLinux!

Make sure that both python2 and pyqt are installed. If you use OpenTeacher from source, you have to link /usr/bin/python to /usr/bin/python2 instead of /usr/bin/python3, or change the first line of bin/openteacher.py from #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python2. You can also just install OpenTeacher via the ArchLinux (.pkg.tar.xz) package, available on the Download page. If that does not work, please file a bug report in Launchpad or send an e-mail.

How can I let OpenTeacher pronounce words/places?

You can enable this in the settings. Click Edit > Settings, then select the Pronounciation tab. Then tick the box before 'Pronounce words' and/or 'Pronounce places'.
