Dear all, two questions:
1/ I like to have my Mac read big blocks of statistical data (I have entered) back to me while I can scan the original to check for typos. This saves having someone else read the screen, while I look at the paper, and is incredibly efficient. I have never worked out to do this on my PC. I thought it might be fun to make a cross platform data entry checker, with a few bells and whistles that Appleworks can't provide. Of the many (mostly stupid) voices available, I like Victoria. Before I start on the data checker, is this hard to implement under Windows? Is there a WinVict dot something? My PCs have never uttered a word to me...... I can't seem to find references to synthesised speech, but do recall it being mentioned previously on this list (or maybe MC) 2/ In some ways related, perhaps. I have a psychological assessment that speaks the questions for people with a reading difficulty. It speaks once automatically, and any additional number of times at the users request. I highlight the whole sentence by colouring the text as the thing is read, and then it turns to black again. Now, how would I highlight *words* as they are being read. Like you get in Grandma and Me? I have assumed that chopping up the Aiffs into words would be a silly way to go. So perhaps I use QuickTime and colour/decolour words at particular points in the playback? I know I could just experiment, but I am confident that someone out there must have tackled this previously. BTW, great to see so many new users. Nice to know the answers to a few questions for a change, too !
