    Hey everyone...!!
    I have been trying to edit the script in SRT test in PEBL using an audio beep sound for my blind participants. But every time the script returns with a syntax error. I would highly appreciate any help regarding this.
    Attached is the original word file of the script.
    Thanks.

    What is the syntax error? Did it give a line number? I'm not seeing an error like that when I run it. I've added a beep stimulus that gets played when the 'x' appears. Note that you will need to edit the instructions to specify that they need to hit the 'x' key, although you can change the parameters to use another key using the edit parameters dialog. I guess if they are blind, you don't need to change the instructions on-screen, you just need to show them which key to press.

    You can update the translations by just editing the translations/SimpleRT-en.bl file. If you want to update the parameters, make a copy of the params/SimpleRT.pbl.schema file and name it params/SimpleRT-audio.pbl.schema; or just overwrite the SimpleRT.pbl file with the one attached. Let me know if this doesn't work!
