Yep, in simplest form its not to bad. I put a bunch of text into a field
then to read it, set the itemdelimter to "." put the field text into a
variable and replaced "? " with ?. " same with "! " replaced with "!. " (to
ensure we still retain punctuation tone changes)
So the following script placed in a button will read from field 1. Clicking
the button again pauses, Reading picks up where it left off.
local tReading, tCurrLine, tTotalLines,tText
on mouseUp
if tReading is empty then put false into tReading
put not tReading into tReading
set the label of me to "Reading: " & tReading
startLooping
end mouseUp
command startLooping
set the linedelimiter to "."
if tReading then
if tCurrLine is empty then
put field 1 into tText
replace "? " with "?. " in tText
replace "! " with "!. " in tText
put the number of lines in tText into tTotalLines
put 1 into tCurrLine
end if
if not revIsSpeaking() then
revspeak line tCurrLine of tText
if tCurrLine = tTotalLines then
put false into tReading
put empty into tCurrLine
else
add 1 to tCurrLine
end if
end if
set the label of me to "Reading: " & tReading
send startLooping to me in 20 milliseconds
end if
end startLooping
