CarlD Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) Trying to write a script that lists the available TTS voices and speaks some sample text for each voice. What I have here works, except that I'm having trouble trapping the COM error that some voices trigger. After a few such errors, the script hangs. I confess that, for the error trapping, I'm just following the example scripts for the ObjEvent() function, recipe style, without fully understanding why it should (or should not) work here. Pointers will be gratefully accepted. expandcollapse popupIf Not $CmdLine[0] Then $sSay = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
