I was a long time user of Mark Gilmore's ECS, Event Control System, (PC based) before coming to Indigo and was hoping
to set up something similar to what I was able to do in terms of "constructing" text to be spoken.

For example if I have a variable that contains "68", I could construct a text sentence to be spoken, "The current inside temperature
is 68 degrees".

Thanks,

Carl

Create an embedded AppleScript action with the following script:

Code: Select all

set theText to "The current inside temperature is " & (value of variable "VARNAMEHERE") & " degrees."
say theText


be sure to change VARNAMEHERE to the actual name of your variable.

You could of course combine the lines into a single line as well - I just wanted to illustrate first how to concatenate strings together in AppleScript then illustrate how the say command works.

This is what I love about Indigo...and it's support.

Thanks Jay.
