I’m trying to build a demo about the capacities of AppleScrip and I would like to make an application that speak loud all the demo while do some stuff. I know how to tell the script to speak, but the problem is the language.
I can’t found any way to implement text to speech in Spanish.
I remember that under system 9 we can install a Mexican Spanish module, but I can’t found anything like that under 10.x
Does anybody knows if there are some way to do that.
Apple claims that Tiger is a world citizen, even in the web page say “Mac OS X speaks your language”, but if I start the Finder in Spanish, the pane “Text to speech” is dimmed, there’s no way to play anything.
Maybe Chris Nebel knows something about it.
The Finder? I guess you mean System Preferences/International/Languages, log out, log in.
Yes, you're right. I just tried it in French. But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with AppleScript.
Having set your main language in System Preferences/International/Languages, and logged in again, go to System Preferences/Speech/Text to Speech. Check the box "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" and choose a key combo (like cmd+F1). Select the same text as you were scripting and press the key combo. Again it speaks in a god-awful (American, if US) English reading of the text.
I'm very surprised to hear that. I'd swear there was a way to set other languages for interpretation of text-to-speech, but it sure isn't there in the Speech preferences.
