Hi People,
I'm writing a little program for my 5 year old son to help him learn
his sight words. The AppleScript Studio app reads a simple text file
of words, then displays each for for a few seconds. Mac OS X 10.2.6.
What I'd like it to do is actually say the word and optionally listen
for him to repeat it...
However, if I use the handler
--
on speakTheWord(theWord)
say theWord
end speakTheWord
--
when I say
--
speakTheWord("dad")
--
I get an alert saying that "dad doesn't understand the say command". I
tried having it
--
tell application "Finder"
say theWord
end
--
With same result.
Anyway, I thought I'd try the speech recognition engine and tell it to
--
on speakTheWord(theWord)
tell application SpeechRecognitionServer
listen continuously for theWord with prompt theWord giving
up after 10
end tell
end speakTheWord
--
That just tells me that theWord doesn't understand the "listen
continously" message.
I tried
--
on speakTheWord(theWord)
tell application SpeechRecognitionServer
listen for theWord with prompt theWord giving up after 10
end tell
end speakTheWord
--
(same but without the "continously" clause) and now I get the spinning
beach ball of death when the cursor is over the microphone icon. It
never times out and I have to reboot (and sometimes trash the speech
prefs too) to get everything working properly again.
Anybody have any ideas why this doesn't work?
Peter
