[sc-users] a talking post window for a blind SC3 user?

[Jan Trutzschler]

Hi Julio,

it seems the problem is  that code dump is not called when there is  
an error. So here's a workaround:
- assign a keyDownAction to the Document
- clear the post window
- wait for half a second - this might need some tweaking
- speak the first bits of it
You can either assign it to the current Document or to all ...

//for the current doc
Document.current.keyDownAction = {|doc, char, mod, code, key|
	if(code == 3){
		Document.listener.string = "";
		{0.5.wait; Document.listener.string.copyRange(0,50).speak;}.fork 
(AppClock);
	};

};

  //for all docs ..
Document.globalKeyDownAction = {|doc, char, mod, code, key|
	if(code == 3){ //enter
		Document.listener.string = "";
		{0.5.wait; Document.listener.string.copyRange(0,50).speak;}.fork 
(AppClock);
	};

};

cu
Jan
