Ok, after reworking it a dozen times I cam up with a weird but understandable solution. I had to surround the variable with quote to force revSpeak to see it as a quoted line of text. Since the tNum variable only has one word in it revSpeak seems to handle it just fine but because the tTTS has c

Re: Speech and commas

Hi Thomas, looks like a bug in revSpeak to me. put "THE TOP ROW ESCAPE and Function keys F1, F2, F3, F4, F5." into tTTS replace "," with ";" in tTTs works and seems to have the same effect on pronounciation as a comma. Kind regards Bernd -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revo

Hi Thomas, As a work around I would replace all comma's with some other non-pronounceable or invisible character like a space and see if that fixes your problem. Do that before you give the sentence to the speech part of the program. Good Luck, Rick On Mar 4, 2013, at 3:48 PM, Thomas McGrath I

I can't figure out why, but it is the commas causing the issue, replacing them with stops allows the speech to complete the full sentence. Using exactly the same sentence in Text Edit allows the speech to complete with commas. Paul On 2013-03-04, at 12:48 PM, Thomas McGrath III wrote: > I am
