The say () for () seconds (shortened to secs before Scratch 3.0) block is a stack block in the Looks category that originates from Scratch. It says the entered text for the specified amount of time before the speech bubble disappears, and functions like the say () block. The default text is "Hello!", just like the say () block, while the default number is 2.

Workaround

This block can be worked around by using a say () block with the text, and using a wait () seconds block followed by a stop speaking block to wait for the specified time to elapse. Alternatively, the workaround for the stop speaking block can be used.

say [Hello!]
wait (2) seconds
stop speaking::looks
