revSpeak not working on Mac

[Bill Vlahos]

While it would be interesting to create a different user on my Mac, it wouldn’t solve my problem.

Fortunately there is another text to voice solution using speechSpeakUtterance commands. That works. I’m not sure why there are two solutions for this in LiveCode but here are links to describe it.

Thanks for everyone providing information regarding this.
