CALL SAY things

[ralphb]

I'm trying to say some things with CALL SAY in XB, but it's not working at it should. For example,

CALL SAY("READY TO START")

just spells out READY and continues with "TO START". CALL SAY in conjunction with CALL SPGET

CALL SPGET("READY TO START", R$)
CALL SAY(,R$)

just says "uh-oh" (both on real iron).

 

READY TO START is listed as an available word in the XB manual. Is this a mistake, or do I need to specify that phrase differently?

 

(I know there's Text-To-Speech, but I probably need the output sooner than I learned that tool.)

"#READY TO START"

Duh, thanks!

 

BTW, is your Speecoder available somewhere right now, as your home page is under maintenance?

BTW, the Speech Editor manual has some really important information about CALL SAY and CALL SPGET. Unfortunately, TI seemed to have forgotten to copy those texts to the Extended Basic manual. I do not remember where I got that hint about "#", but at least the Speech Editor manual has it. Also, the "#" should possibly appear at the end as well, but this is obviously not checked.

 

SPEECODER is available somewhere here on the forum, may have to search.

Hmm ... cannot find it. Here you are.
