Smallworld has found its voice

Bhimesh over at MagikFun provided an example of how to get Smallworld to talk.

Here's my attempt at getting Magik to talk in multiple languages...

_block 
  v << ole_client.create_object("sapi.spvoice")
  v.speak("ggooten abendd.  vilkommen")
  v.speak("good evening. welcome")
  v.release_object()
_endblock 
$

The German spelling is atrocious, but I found that you sometimes have to butcher the spelling to get the voice software to do a better pronunciation.

Imagine the possibilities now that Smallworld has found its voice!
