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 to "~/desktop/test.aiff" beep delay 0.5 say "You have a new message." using "WillUpClose infovox iVox HQ" saving to soundFile The beep sound is a knocking on a door and that Will voice is kind of creepy, so I want to end up with a sound file of knocking then Whispery Will saying you have a new message. Lol, it’s a silly goal, but a bit of fun. I’ve also been playing around in the command line to see if I can succeed there.
