Hi all, thank you for the continued replies and assistance.
I’m still not successful. :)
I can easily open a text document and write a couple lines, then save to iTunes
as spoken text, but I won’t have the sound beforehand.
I tried this earlier and not sure where I went wrong.
set soundFile

Tracy,
I am not sure why you want to save a file out for this. Maybe a little more
context would help. In any case you can add a delay before the say statement.
Maybe something like this.
beep
delay 1
say Hello World using Tessa
Not sure exactly how to incorporate the beep without some Google
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
Tracy,
Ok, so here is what I have come up with. I don’t think that it’s what you want

beep
delay 0.5
say “You have a new message.” Using “Will”
My goal is to have this be an audio file that I can use later. On the last
line would I type -o will.aiff
I’ve been reading documentation, but much to
Ahh, I think we're on different platforms. I'm thinking of a shell
script in terminal while I think you're doing it via an AppleScript.

use AppleScript to
Hi all,
I've done this in the past and I can't remember how. It is driving me crazy
and googling isn't getting me the correct solution.
If I'm creating a script with the say command, using a particular voice, what
is the last line in the script to save that as an .aiff file?
One reason I'm
I'm no AppleScripter but the say command takes a parameter to say where
to save the aiff audio output instead of playing it through the
speakers. Normally you could do
say -f input_text_filename.txt -o output_audio.aiff
there are lots of other parameters to the say command which you can find
10 matches
