Hi Chip,
I don't think there's any way of being able to tell if window-eyes is actually
speaking, but here's a little routine I came up with ages ago for something or
other I was messing about with. I don't know if it's actually what you want,
or how good it might fare in a complexed script but here goes, and bearing in
mind you are a far better scripter than me smile..
begin Vbscript
' press "l" to start loop space to stop
Dim KeyFlag
Dim Counter : Counter = 0
Dim hk, sc
Set hk = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("l", "StartCount")
Set sc = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey("space", "StopCount")
Sub StartCount()
KeyFlag = False
If Not KeyFlag And Counter = 0 Then
Counter = 0
Count
End If
End Sub
Sub StopCount()
KeyFlag = True
Counter = 0
End Sub
Sub Count()
Do While Not Counter = 10 And Not KeyFlag
Counter = Counter + 1
Speak Counter
Sleep 1000
Loop
Counter = 0
KeyFlag = False
End Sub
Warm regards.
Martin Webster.
