Speak Text

[Flip]

Hi is there away to turn the volume up in speak text? i mean just for the text in the code and nothing else. If so how

[ken gray]

Yes. if you search for the speak function, it will give you all the parameters; i can't recall the exact syntax at the moment.

Code:

Speak "text" 0 "" 0 50 ;;50 is volume

Hello just a quick question can someone tell me if there is a way to slow the Speak text down so it doesn't speak so fast?

[Gintaras]

Yes, use negative rate, eg -5. Slowest will be -10. Default is 0.

Speak "speaking slowly" 0 "" -5
