On my system (Mac OSX 10.10.4) the following code produces only the first utterance. The second one is produce when the user interacts in some way with the front end (mouseover, mouseclick). How can I avoid this strange behavior and produce timely speech?

Speak["you say goodbye"]
Speak["and i say hello"]

  • $\begingroup$ What about : Speak["you say goodbye [[slnc 1000]] and I say hello"] ? Is this the kind of things you want to do ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Or, maybe try : Run["say " <> "you say goodbye"] ; Run["say " <> "and i say hello"] (only works on OSX) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ abwatson, I cannot reproduce the behavior you described in MMA 10.2 on Win7-64 bit. When executing those two expressions, the system generates speech for both even without any user interaction. It seems then that your problem may be system-dependent. $\endgroup$
