NAME Translate -- Convert an English string into narrator device phonemes. SYNOPSIS rtnCode = Translate(inString, inLength, outBuffer, outLength) D0 A0 D0 A1 D1 LONG Translate( STRPTR inString, LONG inLength, STRPTR outBuffer, LONG outlen ); FUNCTION The translate function converts an English string into a string of phonetic codes suitable as input to the narrator device. INPUTS inString - pointer to English string inLength - length of English string outBuffer - a char array which will hold the phonetic codes outLength - the length of the output array RESULTS rtnCode - zero if no error has occured. The only error that can occur is overflowing the outBuffer. If Translate() determines that an overflow will occur, it will stop the translation at a word boundary before the overflow happens. If this occurs, rtnCode will be a negative number whose absolute value indicates where in inString Translate() stopped. The user can then use the offset -rtnCode from the beginning of inString in a subsequent Translate() call to continue the translation. SEE ALSO narrator.device/CMD_WRITE
