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?

Some versions of Rev had a problem copying OS X externals to the applications and then sometimes wouldn't even use them if you copied them manually.

You need to open the OS X application bundle after it is built - right-click or control-click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents". Burrow down through the folders: Contents -> MacOS -> externals
I would guess that the externals folder is empty - copy the revspeech.bundle manually to this folder and try it again. If this still doesn't work, alter your "enableLibraries" handler to point to the right place and see if that helps.


Upgrading to the latest version of Rev will also solve this :-)

Cheers,
Sarah
