Re: Direct speech output

2007-05-03 Thread John Price
Hello John,
It has been over 20 years cence i've used a Mack computer.
Back then, they were called Apple-2 computers.
They had these cards that plugged in to a slot on the mother board.
These cards were called eccoe speach centhisisers.
They would read the text on the screen to you, but if the text happen to be 
in a box, it was a pane to get it to read it to you.
Maby I'm using the rong mejuring stick to mejur a pc against a Mack or vice 
versa, I thot that you had to have some kind of software to make a Mack read 
the text that shows up on it's screen.
Think you for clearing that up for me.
Because of this, I know what to expect.

 Am I misunderstanding you, or are you not aware that the Mac has
 VoiceOver, which is its own spoken screen access built into Tiger or
 Leopard OS. I understand that VoiceOver has a way to go, but I'm still
 rather glad it's there. The more options we have, the better.

 Anyway, let's keep our ears pealed for evidence of ways to speak
 messages without using modeless dialogs or message boxes.

 High John.
 I am wondering the same thing too.
 Because of the fact that  the days of tech support for Windows XP are
 numbered, I am thinking about getting a mack system.
 I think Vista has to many flaws and to many draw backs.
 One of them being infrengement upon your privacy.
 I've looked for text to voice software for Macks, but I haven't found
 any
 out there yet.
 I may have to write that program myself.
 If I am rong about this, everyone out there, please let me know.

 Hello,

 I write programs as a hobby using power basic. I thought I recalled
 someone saying that there some sdk's available which could make
 possible writing output directly to speech. I'd be interested in
 learning more about this.

 Help appreciated,

VoiceOver is the talking text-to-speech interface for the Mac.  I have 
been a user of this product practically since day one.  I have been a 
Mac/Apple user since 1985, when I bought my first computer, the Apple 
2GS.  Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

All fine and good, until it is pointed out that the Apple 2GS did not 
exist in 1985.
