I'm trying revSpeak command and noticed that when I give it as text to speack a string containing accented letters (like "è") the text is not read. Any idea?

Hi Mag,
Yes, revspeak doesn't work with accented letters on OSX since Lion
You have to use applescript for that

Thank you so much Jean-Marc.
So, I will go with something like:
Code: Select all
put the field "AppleScriptCode" into theCode
do theCode as "applescript"
Field "AppleScriptCode":
say "Hello!" using "Agnes"

Hi Mag,
I forgot you have to replace " à " by " a " in the text.
Some voices (Virginie in french) says
"il est parti a accent grave Paris" instead
"il est parti à Paris"

That concern only the WORD "à" that is the reason you have to replace " à " and not "à"

Thank you. I will add this code:
Code: Select all
replace " à " with " a " in theText -- to avoid the "il est parti a accent grave Paris" bug

Hi Mag,
Glad to help you.
I didn't verify all cases but it seems that "à" is the only case considered like a word with only one accented letter

Hi All,
There is a simpler way using revspeak
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
get "je suis à l'école"
put unidecode(uniencode(it),"UTF8") into tSentence
revspeak tSentence
end mouseUp
works fine for me
Kind regards

Hi All,
It seems LC 6.7 has changed something in revspeak command
With LC 5.5 I needed use this
Code: Select all
put "mangé" into tText
revspeak unidecode(uniencode(tText),"UTF8")
because it didn't work with accented letters.
With LC 6.7 we can return to a simple revspeak command
Code: Select all
put "mangé" into tText
revspeak tText
Best regards
Jean-Marc
