Hi Tom,

Only posted that method is because you wanted to know scripting outside
of Windoweyes, at least I thought that.

Your complaint is exactly what I complained about months ago when I
joined the listing.

So, instead of reading what they had I learned .VBS code, wrote my own
speech as posted in previous emails.

This speech package is to allow speech without worrying about
Windoweyes, for I found the same issues as you have and sincerely hope the
tutorial Chip is writing gets to be more in depth so no one has to jump to
Microsoft or any where else.

The Methods you point out for windoweyes is true. The only difference is
I use an instanced labeled as C and the dot after it is all the speech
methods used in speech; listed in the methods list inside the class. Granted
Windoweyes uses only the word speech, but that is for speaking only.

So, I posted the actual SAPI format and how to construct all voice
parms. It is for both SAPI 4 and SAPI 5 and those 2 can be the same if
percentages is used for both as you will see in some of the methods.

It would be nice to have a nice tutorial that goes from basic script
writing all the way into Windoweyes. I just gave you another approach to
learn some of the scripts, which still requires the formats in the
Windoweyes version.

What Chip last wrote is an improvement of what existed several months
ago. So, I guess it is work in progress.

Sorry about not knowing about your knowledge, just did not know...
Also, I never got a copy of the last 2 posts I made, probably because of
the attachment.

Sincerely
Bruce



I should also clarify for anyone interested in learning to script that this
TTS example has absolutely nothing to do with Window-Eyes scripting. Read it
and be intimidated if you wish. Then realize that in order to make
Window-Eyes speak you do nothing more than use a Speak command, such as in
the following.

Speak "Hello world!"

In a script you're writing for Window-Eyes, that's it. Use the Speak command
to tell Window-Eyes what to speak and you're done. The method outlined below
is for a stand-alone script to run independent of Window-Eyes by using the
Windows scripting host. Again, this has absolutely nothing to do with
scripting Window-Eyes.

Tom

Thanks for the lesson, but I've been programming for 20 years. I tried to
clarify my point in my last message. I apologize if my previous message
was so misleading.

Tom
