Click the widget to enable audio if the widget uses it. Note that modern browser security may prevent the widget from loading content from other web sites, however the widget should be able to load properly on the chumby devices. These previews are possible through the use of Ruffle ‐ note that Ruffle is still a work in progress, and not all Flash features are implemented, so some widgets may not perform optimally.

Works like a champ! Did you use the Flite speech synthesis as the source of the speech, or discrete sound files?

Announce-on-load is fixed. I suspect that both booleans (true and false) were being saved as strings ("true" and "false"), which makes them both evaluate to true. Do I sound frightening?! =) I would like to have at least two voices to choose from. I intend to record a female voice next, but I'm not an audio engineer. If anyone would like to donate audio files, I'd be very grateful. Let me know and I'll give you the details.

I like it a lot. Can't seem to turn off the auto-announce feature when the channel lands on this widget. Also more voices would be appreciated. The current voice sometimes frightens me.

OK, it should work now. The new feature using onSoundComplete didn't work on the Chumby, so I reverted back to an older/less elegant solution. Give it another try! Thanks!
