Hello all -
Has anyone got experience with using text-to-speech?
I need some advice on how to get speech working in a standalone app. I'm working on a (for me) big video script-writing utility that I want to feature a preview facility using text-to-speech. (OS X only)
Now... speech works easily in development version running with Rev, but when I build a standalone, it fails.
Here is a simple rev stack with one button and one field: www.chriscd.dsl.pipex.com/Speech_test.zip
The development stack works fine.
The OS X app doesn't work. I *did* select speech as an option in standalone maker, but no external resources seem to be copied over. I note that on the Windows side, "revspeech.dll" gets copied to destination. Should there not be some kind of OS X equivalent (presumably, "revspeech.bundle" ?) I tried manually copying this file to the application root, but still nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Strangely, on the actual large project that I'm working on, I can get the standalone to work (this bit of code from list seemed to do the trick...)
on enableLibraries
put the fileName of this stack into tFile
set the itemDel to "/"
delete last item of tFile
set the externals of this stack to tFile & "/power_res/revspeech.bundle"
end enableLibraries
(I manually copied "revspeech.bundle" into my "power_res" folder.)
BUT IT ONLY WORKS ONLY ON MY MACHINE!!
Help!!! I really can't see what I'm supposed to do to sort this out. I need to get this working urgently.
It would be great if someone could tell me how to get this simple test working, then I can apply that to the main project. Do you think this is something I'm doing wrong, or is a bug in Rev? Or is there some undocumented procedure I need to perform to get it functioning!?
I included the Windows version in zip file too, as this also fails - but I don't need Windows (XP) version just yet. I'm hoping that whatever I need to do with OS X will also cure it for Windows!
Appreciate any help you can give me!
