I guess since I don't know Applescript I keep going to the shell. You
can set the rate and voice for the say command using various flags:
say -v Bruce "help" -r 400
So wouldn't you be able to do something like
os.system("say -v Bruce 'help' -r 400")

Yes, like this:
import os
os.system("""osascript 'say "hello"'""")
The problem is that say does not honor vo settings. For instance, vo uses
Serena on my system, but my default voice is Alex, so I know the difference
(particularly helpful in chess). I want to use vo itself so that all settings
are used, regardless of the system's defaults. I know it can be done, as this
output command is in vo's dictionary in script editor, I just don't know the
right syntax to use.

Can you use Python to execute shell scripts? Then you could invoke
say "sometext" to get your speech output from Python.

Hi all,
I'd like to use osascript to tell vo to output text, which would be part of a
python module. Long story short, can someone provide a quick example of the
exact syntax? I thought it might be:
osascript tell voiceover to output "hello world"
but I'm guessing at punctuation and exact wording. Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Have a great day,
