Thank you for your post.

This issue has been previously reported, and our Development and Software Quality Assurance (Testing) departments are aware of this issue.  No other information is available at this time.

Continue setting the option "Wait for speech completion before continuing".

This has been reported here for Filemaker 10 and Mac OS 10.5. Does this bug also occur with Filemaker 11 and Snow Leopard?

PhilModJunk:

This occurs for all versions of FileMaker Pro.

Unchecking the "Wait for speech completion before continuing" option will always use the system default voice.

In FileMaker 13 when you want text to be spoken, it is not compatible to use the speak command that only works on the desktop version.

What you can do, is to tap and hold in a text field in the 'pop-up will be shown' to copy or other, select other than you can tap speak. Note this only works in version 13. I just tested version 14 and missed a longer shows the other option.

If anyone knows of a way to bring up the speak command on the iPad please provide the latest options.

 I'm using FileMaker 14 and I want to be able to speak text in the field on the iPad.

This is a workaround I came up with today, I have a second field that represents what I want the field to say but it's only for visual recognition for the spoken content. In FM 14, you can use the container field to record the audio you want spoken. unfortunately this is not like the prior version 13 where you can have it speak the field text. But it accomplishes the same task and you can record over the container content when required.
