Hello all:

Here the Keyboard maestro latest version, flo tools 2, and Pro tools v12.7.1,
and the Keyboard maestro is up and running, but
all the flo tools Commands are not working, what thing shoud I do?
and are there commands that will interfere with the commands that am
studying from the Protools with speech tutorial?
Thanks

If you followed all of the instructions in the Flo Tools Read Me, try restarting the computer once. If Flo Tools doesn't respond while Pro Tools is running, quit VoiceOver and restart it with Command+f5.

Sounds interesting, I will check it out, first I want to be very
familiar with pt generally, then will come flotools.

Yep, that's the best approach.

I am having problems getting flotools to work. I installed keyboard maestro and flotools but when I open protools and try to use a flotools command nothing happens. I've tried restarting VO, restarted the computer, re-installed flotools and nothing worked. Does anyone have any suggestions that I can try?
Thanks,
Ben Blatchford

If you've followed all of the guidelines in the Read Me and you're still not getting speech, go to http://flotools.org/support and follow the link to GitHub to submit an issue ticket. I think that's the best route for now.

also, there is no flotools option in the keyboard maestro engine menu.

Sounds like Flo Tools wasn't really installed. Are there Flo Tools macro groups in the macro groups scroll area of Keyboard Maestro?

OK, Flo Tools didn't install. I sent you a private message.

Since this was resolved off list, just wanted to let others know that the issue was the checkbox for VoiceOver to be controlled by AppleScript wasn't checked. Ben checked it and it's working now.
