- MacHack 1998
-
- Talking Keyboard 1.0 requires Plaintalk 1.4 or better.
-
- This hack is designed to assist people with disabilities but it fun for everyone to use.
-
- It makes the keyboard speak char by char, word by word, sentence by sentence… or any combination of all three.
- It allows the user to specify which voice to use and remembers settings.
- It is scriptable and recordable:
- TalkingKeyBoard: TalkingKeyBoard Suit
-
- get: get data of an object
- get reference -- the object whose data is to be returned
- Result: small integer -- object data
-
- set: set an objects data
- set anything -- object to change
- to anything
-
- Class application: application properties
- Properties:
- voice string
- SpeakChars integer
- SpeakWords integer
- SpeakSentence integer
-
- example:
- tell application "TalkingKeyBoard FAT"
- set voice to "Ralph"
- set SpeakChars to 0
- set SpeakWords to 1
- set SpeakSentence to 1
- end tell
-
- Talking Keyboard uses an ADBServiceRoutine, a jGNE Filter and a DeferredTask…but there are no patches ;-)
- I would like to thank all the people on The Internet for answering some very tuff questions.
