My program won't work...

Question

Hi all,

I made my own speech program using Noah Buscher's "Speak" extension, but it won't execute.

When I try to run it, I get the window that says, "~~~.exe has stopped working..."

Is it a coding problem?

Please help!

Here is my source code:

TextWindowPlus.Title = "Speak"
TextWindowPlus.Left = 0
TextWindowPlus.Top = 0

talking:
TextWindow.WriteLine("Please enter text for me to speak:")
txt=TextWindow.Read()
Program.Delay(100)
Speak.SpeakText(txt)
Program.Delay(100)
TextWindow.Write("Do you want me to say more? Type 'y' for yes and 'n' for no: ")
opt1 = TextWindow.Read()
If opt1 = "y" Or "Y" Or "yes" Or "Yes" Or "YES" Then
  Goto talking
ElseIf opt1 = "n" or "N" or "no" or "No" or "NO" Then
  time=Clock.Hour
  If time < 16 then
    TextWindow.Write("Thankyou for using Speak. Have a good day!")
  ElseIf time < 20 then
    TextWindow.Write("Thankyou for using Speak. Have a good evening!")
  Else
    TextWindow.Write("Thankyou for using Speak. Have a good night!")
  EndIf
EndIf

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Try to run the program with the line Speak.SpeakText commented out.

If it runs then you know the error is in the spaek extension, if you get the

same error the rest of your program has an error

Answer 2

First save the program in the Documents / My Documents folder. That way Small Basic can have write permissions. If that doesn't work, I will get in touch with Noah and inspect the extension's code.

Answer 3

There is also a speech extension in LitDev extension, that speaks text and does speech recognition (some speech recognition training and a decent microphone helps).

Okay, I will try that. I will update when I do.

Answer 7

Okay, it works without the Speak.SpeakText() command. Hmmmm....

Answer 8

Another option to try is my PlusPlus Extension (see extensions sticky). It features advanced speech control, such as speed, gender/age of the voice (provided those voices are installed), volume, etc.

Answer 9

Alright, sounds good!

Answer 11

Oh, it is okay! I like trying extensions, and to be honest, it isn't too big of a deal for me if it doesn't work. If you can fix it though, that would be great!
