The Tool that Talks to You! One of the neat features working with FileMaker on the mac is the option to use built in speech scripted statements. The user typically works quickly and needs an additional stimulus to alert them (beyond a dialog box or something screen-based). When an error is detected, it will tell them to STOP! with more details on what it felt went wrong.

This tool is used to validate product packed on an order. It uses a barcode for input and relies on audio speech for error feedback. As items are scanned in, scripts check and validate the information is correct and update the packed quantity on the order. Once enough of an item have been packed, the line item changes color and will give an error if more are scanned.
