Is there a way to get it to make a tone to symbolise the reading of parenthacies?

audio tag

Postby costinvint » Wed Apr 02, 2008 2:51 pm

It would be nice to use the audio tag to denote parens.

{{audio=C:\WINDOWS\Media\ding.wav}}

It works with the test button. But the text "{{audio=C:\WINDOWS\Media\ding.wav}}" is actually read aloud instead of a ding during playback.

Can you offer advice?

Im using Kate.

change voice on parentheses

Postby costinvint » Wed Apr 02, 2008 6:40 pm

Whats the best way to change voices inside parentheses and stuff?

This is a working model I came up with:

W: {{re=[\[\(]}}
P: <voice>

AND

W: {{re=[\]\)]}}
P: </voice>

What about '—' hyphens

Postby costinvint » Wed Apr 02, 2008 7:22 pm

This one is a little more tricky. How can i make a rule about reading text between hyphens in a different voice?


Also, it should switch back to the default voice after a end-of-sentence- punctuation or a new line -- just in case of hanging hyphen.

Also, it should ignore minus sings or in-line hyphens.

I know this is a pain but I dont get regular expressions so , i appreciate any help.

So, i came up with these regular expressions:

W:{{re=("[^"]+")}}
P:<voice>$1</voice>

W:{{re=(\([^(]+\))}}
P:<voice>$1</voice>

W:{{re=(\[[^[]+\])}}
P:<voice>$1</voice>

W:{{re=(\-[^\-]+\-)}}
P:<voice>$1</voice>


To switch the voice to Paul between quotes, parentheses, brackets, and hyphens.

I think is all woking out so far, I wolud like to get it all into one expression though.
