Hi David, your idea is correct, but you've got the wrong event of the speech object. There are actually 9 of these events, each one representing a different type of processing which can be done on the string about to be spoken. These events aren't documented well in my opinion (there's very little explanation as to what exactly each one does). There's also little explanation which explains that if you want to intercept speech and do processing on it, you'll need to figure out which kind of processing you are doing (type being compared to the type of processing represented by these 9 different events). Since you are wanting to do something based on a single character which is not alpha-numeric, you'll need to use the OnProcessCharacterDictionaries event, in order to be able to see the string about to be spoken, before the punctuation is replaced by text strings. Just change events and I think it will work for you. hth, Chip

Hi scripters, I am trying to make an app that handles fractional numbers. That is, have it speak the word "Fractional", when it reaches numbers like 1/4. Below is a snip of my code. My thought was to connect to the Speech/OnSpeak event, and simply check if there is a SLASH in the original string. But that seems not to work. When things like 1/2, 2/3 or 3/4 occurs, it seems that the OnSpeak string is broken into two seperate strings, by Window-Eyes. Not sure why GW would do such a thing, but that seems to be the case. In other words, the 1/3, will be broken into two strings: "1", and "3". This causes, far as I can see, Window-Eyes not to ever 'see' the slash inbetween; hence my code never works. Am I connecting to the wrong event? Is there a better approach to the matter? ---Snip of code--- ConnectEvent Speech, "OnSpeak", "MOnSpeak" Function MOnSpeak( OriginalString ) If InStr(OriginalString, "4") Then OriginalString = "Fractional, " & OriginalString MOnSpeak = OriginalString End Function 'MOnSpeak. ----End of snip---- Speak "Fractional, is running."
