AutoCAD Speak

[Terry Cadd]

Try to see if Speech works from your Speech options in the Control Panel:
Start Menu / Control Panel / Speech / Text to Speech tab / Preview Voice button
This may look different in your version of Windows.
I looked up "vlax-invoke" in AutoCAD help and found the following interesting info.
I'm wondering if "vlax-invoke" should really be changed to "vlax-invoke-method"?
I haven't tested it yet, but I thought it was interesting.

(vlax-invoke-method obj method arg [arg...]) 
This function was known as vlax-invoke prior to AutoCAD 2000.

I remarked it out of my acad.lsp, guess Steve Balliet and I will have to wait for an upgrade to Windows XP.
Bummer!

[Terry Cadd]

We're all trying to convince the boss to upgrade us to AutoCAD 2007. His reply is always, "What's wrong with 2006?"

(SayIt "It's a real bummer!")

It stinks for sure. I'm supposed to get a new machine the middle of this year. Can't wait.

Yes my Speech works when I test it, but can't get it to work through AutoCAD with WIN2000.

Check your registry at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to see if the class name (Sapi.SpVoice) is the same in win2000.

Yes I have:

Sapi.SpVoice
Sapi.SpVoice.1

SAPI version 5.0.2602.00

But I still can't get it to work.

The only thing I can think of now, is to debug the code in vlide and see if you got it right.

No one has gotten this to work in Windows 2000. No amount of debuging, kicking or droping the computer on the floor will help.
