Bill, Thanks for your help. I double checked according to your directions, but none of the files you mentioned were on my WorkBench2.0 disk. I did find one of them (Translator.library) on the 1.3 disk, but the other two were not there (however, I probably have a "minimal" set of 1.3 files; they came on the startup disk with a piece of commercial software.) Earlier, I was able to find something called narrator.device on the 1.3 disk, which is supposedly required in order to make SpeechToy2 work. However, I still can't get SpeechToy2 to do anything. Do you know if narrator.device needs to be put on the MountList or something? Thanks again, Rick

Rick, Take a look at the latest AmigaWorld (1/94) p. 10 for an explanation of what happened to speach on the Amiga… and what to do about it.

I have checked my copy of 2.04 and all the files are present on the 2.04 Workbench disk. L:speak-handler, Devs:Narrator.device, and Utilities/say. Note that it is only the Workbench disk that has the files, although the directories are also present on 2 of the 3 other disks in the set. // -Karl \X/ Amiga and Autopilot: The *only* way to fly!

Karl, Hope you don't mind my jumping in, especially since I missed the beginning of this thread, but have you checked all the simple things like: Is the sound turned up? Have you connected the audio output jacks to your monitor/sound source? Don't mean to insult you, but sometimes these things are easy to overlook. Steve

Actually, it's *Rick* that can't get it to work, we're just trying to tell him how to find the files. // -Karl \X/ Amiga and Autopilot: The *only* way to fly!
