This has probably been asked before, but, could someone post (or mail) a working example using the translator and narrator devices? I've been scratching my head for a few days here, even examining such goodies as speechtoy.c, but with no luck. My environment is Manx 3.4 .. The problem here is probably that I've got ANTIQUE RKMs.. Auuugh! Would anyone care to make a recommendation for a replacement set of documentation? Thanks in advance .. -Jeff

I need a good way of inputting what I type from the keyboard onto a window on my own screen that I have set up. What should I use? The Console.device or The Text(); command ??? Does anybody have working examples with very little amount of source code needed to generate it including the window and screen opening in it? I want to make sure that I am doing it properly... I know I can look in books, but I have tried without too much success as of yet to do just that. Thanks Hans Bechtel

It is too short, I believe, for the sources posting hopefully qualifying as message-only status for all purposes. This is about as short and simple as you can get when dealing with the narrator and translator. To simplify it further, you could also delete the creation of rn - the message block that reads the mouths. I wanted to make the narrator sing. It sorta does it, but the syllables are too far apart to have anyone say "yes, it really does sing". Yet it does provide at least a jumping off point for folks to use (creation method: 1. open speechtoy.c source, 2. remove anything not strictly speech-related, 3. compile whats left.) I was told by Mark Barton that I'd have to get deep into the Narrator device code in order to "really" do what I wanted, since it was not designed to sing in the first place. You'll find that he was right. The test phrase, by the way, folks said "if you are going to make it sing, surely you won't want to use 'Daisy, daisy....'" Well, they were wrong. Hope it helps.

It can only draw text onto the screen. :-) The console.device can go in and out, but is somewhat complex to use. The easiest way to getting keystrokes is to request Class VANILLAKEY IDCMP messages. You simply request this type of message in the IDCMP field when opening the window. Messages will start to flow in. If the Message->Class compares to VANILLAKEY then Message->Code will contain the key. |\ /| . Ack!
