FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 175
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
You can enter a literal text string or use a calculation to create the text to be spoken. You can also
specify which voice synthesizer to use and whether or not to wait for the speech to be completed,
before continuing with the next script step.
If the database is opened on a non-speaking computer, the script can still be edited, but only the
default voice synthesizer is available. Speak script steps are not executed when the script is run on
a non-speaking computer.
Examples
The following script checks a database to see if all records have phone numbers entered, audibly
notifies the user when it finds one missing, and waits so the user can enter one if desired.
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
If [IsEmpty(Contacts::PhoneNumberField)]
Speak ["Phone number is missing"]
Pause/Resume Script [Indefinitely]
End If
Go to Record/Request/Page [Next; Exit after last]
End Loop
