Text to Speech using Windows?

[CliffS]

I'm moving from FM Pro 7 under MacOS to FM Pro 7 under XP (well, I will also use FMPro 8 under XP)

How do I get the Speak Script Step to work?

Yes, I know that the script step < Speak ("phrase") > does not exist under the Windows XP versions of Filemaker.

But is there any way to make a script make a voice announcement under Filemaker / Windows XP?

Thanks! -Cliff

Must be kid friendly. Too bad the kid doesn't appreciate it! :o

Cliff,

I don't have a Windows version to try, but you may be able to record some audio into a container field, then play it using the Go to Field [ Select/Perform ] step.

Oh come-on, i said i was sorry, can't we just make me promise not to do it, and ban me if i say a really bad word?

[Genx]

Who do i have to talk about to apologize and try get this filter off? I don't think its fair that everyone be punished cause i said a bad word once. I mean other than me (and im being nicer now ) everyone on this forum behaves. Or could we at least get the words D AMN, H ELL etc. unbanned. I get depressed if i cant unstress with words like this. Pretty Pretty please, any who, tell me who i've got to appologize to, and i really will behave

This Forum is provided to solve problems, help people and answer questions. So I will ...

"can't we just make me promise not to do it..."

Here is how:

Go To Record/Request [ head ]

Loop

Show Custom Dialog [ "Help, "Me" ; " Am I saying this for ME or to HELP someone?" ]

If ( Get ( HeadChoice ) = 2

Halt Headtrip

End If

Exit Loop [ If ( not peopleToHelp ) ]

End Loop

... put the rest of your actions here

You (and others) may say you're just a kid and let you off the hook. I do NOT. You are very bright; after all, you are here. Write the rest of the script yourself sir ... you will be the one cleaning up your own data if it's wrong.

Lol, your great LaRetta. True, i do get let off the hook far to often, though i am awfull confused about your script ( though ill assume its a metaphore for something ), i am trying to behave myself... Really.

i am trying to behave myself... Really.

We ALL are ... and it's not always easy for ANY of us. But you'll find it quite worthwhile. :wink2:
