Step 2
Once you are done typing in your message Click the File menu and then Select Save As…
Step 3
Browse to the following location, this is where you need to save your file. The file needs to be shaved in the .vbs (visual basic script) format. To do this just add .vbs to the end of the file name. You can name the file whatever you like as long as it has .vbs at the end.
Done!
Now whenever you turn on your computer you should hear the robot narrator.
