I somewhat agree with the first remark above, but I am only "very" happy
with AMTalk, not totally. Yes, it is a solid program. I used it on
different machines and with different TCP stacks, it never caused a crash
and all implemented features work. But there is still room for new features.
Optional speech-output via narrator.device would be a fun thing, not realy
useful, but if it were available I would use it occationally.
It is then explained why this would be difficult to implement, because
AMTalk would have to process 'incomming letters in smart way to read the
whole sentences only, not single characters.'
Does this implay it would be easy to send single caracters to the
narrator.devise ? But instead of sending them to the narrator.devise
why not send them to a log file ? And I mean all caracters, in and out,
everything going on during a talk session. Some terminal programs have
this feature. I would find it very useful after a talk session, to be able
to open the log file and read up again, all what was said, or save it to
a special directory.
As it is now, I find myself with a pen and a not pad, writing down all
important items like airline schedules, names and addresses, dates etc
to make sure not to lose it. Yes I do use PowerSnap, but more often then
not, things get messed up, at least it is very tedious.
To get a clean log, in proper order, only one party should talk (write)
at a time, and to finish my turn I use ///
and hit the return key twice (a short form of over) My friend does the
same thing and we finnish up with a very easy to read log.
When the scribbeling on my note pad gets too much I usually ask my friend
in Canada to send me his log file by e-mail. It works fine on his
Macintosh and I know it would work just as well on an Amiga.
If that feature was available, there would be another "totally"
happy AMTalk user.
So this was my 2 cents worth. Anybody willing to second me ? before we ask
Marcin Orlowski kindly to think about it.
