Multiple revSpeech?

I'm trying to create a certain type of talking for revSpeech but I can't seem to achieve what I'm after.
I want to use revSpeak 3 times but with different pitches and the same phrases or sentences to speak. The end result should be a monster-like sound wherein it has 3 voice pitches. First is higher than normal, second is the normal pitch, third is lower than normal.
I've exhausted every idea I can think off but to no avail.

Hi Shadowslash,
after some experimenting this works for me on a Mac.
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put "this is a monster speech test" into tSpeak
put "127,60,30" into tThePitches
repeat with i = 1 to 3
put item i of tThePitches into tPitch
revSetSpeechPitch tPitch
revspeak tSpeak
repeat while revIsSpeaking()
wait 50 milliseconds with messages
end repeat
end repeat
end mouseUp
You probably want to play with the voices (revSpeechVoices, revSetSpeechVoice), to get the effect you want.
regards
Bernd

Unfortunately in a Windows XP environment, it only repeats the phrase for 3 times... I'm yet to try it on a Windows 7 machine but I have a hunch it will end with the same results...

ShadowSlash,
try to add at each call to revSpeech a e.g. "wait 200 milliseconds with messages". I had during testing the impression that it helped in some versions.
Not shure whether it helps. But try to give it time.

I ttried
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
local tSpeak,tThePitches,tPitch
put "this is a monster speech test" into tSpeak
put "127,60,30" into tThePitches
repeat with i = 1 to 3
put item i of tThePitches into tPitch
wait 200 millisecs with messages
revSetSpeechPitch tPitch
revSpeak tSpeak
repeat while revIsSpeaking()
wait 50 milliseconds with messages
end repeat
end repeat
end mouseUp
But still to no avail... Could it be that it is OS-dependent?

maybe you could try this before someone on a windows system could try revspeak
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
local tSpeak,tThePitches,tPitch
put "this is a monster speech test" into tSpeak
put "127,60,30" into tThePitches
repeat with i = 1 to 3
put item i of tThePitches into tPitch
wait 200 millisecs with messages
revSetSpeechPitch tPitch
wait 500 milliseconds with messages
revSpeak tSpeak
wait 500 milliseconds with messages
repeat while revIsSpeaking()
wait 50 milliseconds with messages
end repeat
end repeat
end mouseUp
