Tracy, Ok, so your later note says that you are doing exactly what I suggested in my earlier reply. Serves me right for not reading the entire thread. Although I do stand by my request for more context. So are you wanting to create a wav file with the beep and the text spoken by that voice in order to incorporate it into another script using do shell script “afplay ~/path_to_file/sayit.wav”? If so why not just leave the lines in the script.
Irrigardless, I will look into it and get back with you in a bit, if not in the morning.
