Hear new Mail messages announced by customized voices
Hey, no point running around to AT&T!
eliminate the middle-man
No need to generate all these sound files at all, just have your applescript do the talking on the fly! Make a rule to send all your non-junk mail to this:
on perform_mail_action(info) tell application "Mail" set selectedMessages to |SelectedMessages| of info repeat with eachMessage in selectedMessages set theFromAddress to sender of eachMessage set speechText to "new mail from " & theFromAddress say speechText using "Victoria" end repeat end tell end perform_mail_action Of course you could modify this so that messages from particular senders could trigger different bits of speech. The bulk of this script came from another hint on this site which explained how to get the info about which message triggered the currently-running rule. I'm sure someone out there with more applescript knowledge would be able to parse just the name out of "sender" so that it doesn't read off the whole email address after the name. |
