revUnloadSpeech
Type
command
Summary
Removes the operating system's text-to-speech software from memory.
Syntax
revUnloadSpeech
Description
Use the revUnloadSpeech command to free up memory when you're done using the Speech library.
The operating system loads its text-to-speech software into memory when it's needed by any of the commands and functions in the Speech library. The revUnloadSpeech command lets you unload this software, freeing up the memory it uses, when you're done.
If your application uses text to speech, you should execute the revUnloadSpeech command either when your application is finished using text to speech, when the stack that uses speech is closed (in a closeStack handler), or when your application quits (in a shutdown handler). The revUnloadSpeech command must be executed at shutdown if not before in order for the application to close.
The revUnloadSpeech command is part of the Speech library. To ensure that the command works in a standalone application, you must include this custom library when you create your standalone. In the Inclusions pane of the Standalone Application Settings window, make sure the "Speech" library checkbox is checked.
