I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be asking this but...

Does anyone know how to make a script for an auto-talker for StuffPlug that would capitalise the first letter of every word.. So for example 'I Would Be Talking Like This'?

Let me know,

Thanks

You'll need to learn either VBScript or JavaScript, then look at the files for the provided talkers. Then you should have enough info to write one

if you need anymore help see the stuffplug forums at stuffplug.com

Hmm.. I was just wondering whether anyone knew JavaScript or VBScript already who could do it for me.. I mean, wouldn't learning either one of those languages take a long time?

Not that long really. The amount you'd need to learn would take you about half an hour.

Oh, alright then, I'll have a look around.. Can you recommend any good tutorials or sites?

I just searched google and found this:

Will that do what I'm looking for?

Let me know

Thanks

It's certainly a good place to start Now all you need to do is take that JavaScript and make it into a talker.

Yeah, I've tried all that but I keep getting the same error.. The thing is, I don't know how to take that script and alter/adapt it so that it works with StuffPlug.. I would be really grateful if anyone could lend me a hand

code:

function talker(a) {
    var pattern = /(\w)(\w*)/; // a letter, and then one, none or more letters

    for (i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i ++ ) {
        var parts = a[i].match(pattern); // just a temp variable to store the fragments in.

        var firstLetter = parts[1].toUpperCase();
        var restOfWord = parts[2].toLowerCase();

        a[i] = firstLetter + restOfWord; // re-assign it back to the array and move on
    }
   
    document.form1.text1.value = a.join(' '); // join it back together
}

Should work well Just save in a file called 'talker.name.js' and put it with the other talkers.
