Where Everything Goes
Lets Talk! needs to use the 5HOTA Speech OSAX(FAT). The OSAX must be installed in your scripting additions folder. Installation can be carried out manually or by using the supplied custom installer.
Automatic Installation
The custom installer requires that a freshly installed copy of the Lets Talk! Folder is at the top level of your hard disc. That means you should be able to see the Lets Talk! Folder as soon as you open your hard disc.
To install a fresh copy of the Lets Talk! Folder click twice on the Lets Talk! Folder.sea icon. You should select the top level of your hard disc when prompted.
Once you have a fresh copy of the Lets Talk! folder installed at the top level of your hard disc, you will find the custom installer in the Lets Talk! Folder. Click twice on the custom installer icon to carry out the rest of the installation.
Manual Installation
If you decide to install the OSAX manually, please follow these instructions carefully.
You should drag the 5HOTA Speech OSAX(FAT) from the Lets Talk! Folder to your Scripting Additions folder. You will find the Scripting Additions folder in the extensions folder in your System Folder.
After installing the 5HOTA Speech OSAX(FAT) you must restart your computer.
