Projects Programming

I have install the talkie library from GitHub - going-digital/Talkie: Speech library for Arduino

i got the error message after instaling the library

Invalid library found in C:\Users\COMPACT\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Talkie-master:
C:\Users\COMPACT\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Talkie-master

on compiling the example in the library the error massage is this

what is the problem? :frowning:

The problem is the Talkie library is written for an outdated compiler.

You can find instructions to fix this error here:

People have tried to get this fixed but unfortunately the original author of the Talkie library seems to have abandoned the project. You can find forks of the library that have a lot of further development (including fixing this bug) on them:

ok i have made changes in the program but problem still in compiliing
is the header file is the problem ?
attached the program

When you encounter an error you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages". Click that button. Paste the error in a message here USING CODE TAGS (</> button on the toolbar).

ok

Here is a version of getting started.ino that I got working after 3 days of frustration

you will need the fixed version of Talkie.h - change WProgram.h with Arduino.h etc.

i have attached whAT I THINK are fixed versions of the h and cpp files

hope it save people time

#include "talkie.h"

There is a version of the Talkie library which may become somewhat the new "official" version since it is going to be added to the Library Manager. It should be working right out of the box (or if not, please submit a bug report):

That is a fork of the PaulStoffregen version so it should have all the same improvements from that version.
