A left over from when I was trying to discover which of the voices worked and which didn't, the rest of the script built two lists - those I heard and those that failed. Forgot to take the try block out after Jon P and Bill C made it clear how to get all of them to work.

I've often wondered what the point of this type of try/error block at the very end of a script might be. I use a try/error block if I want to do something else on error, or if I want to be able to branch to different alternatives depending on the error number. ( E.g. if the user cancels, i.e. error number is -128, don't do anything, otherwise display the error AND number.) Or to trap an error midway through a script, and return after displaying some information in addition to the error message. But if you're just going to display the error message in a display dialog anyway, why bother putting it in a try block? Why not just let it error?
