I am trying to get the unix say command to speak the text I am writing to a
file using the following...
NSTask *ls = [[NSTask alloc] init];
NSFileHandle *stdIn = [NSFileHandle
fileHandleForReadingAtPath: txtFilePath];
[ls setStandardInput: stdIn];
[ls setLaunchPath: @"/usr/bin/say"];
[ls launch];
[ls release];
My problem is that the command speaks the text in the file when the task is
launched but not anything written to it subsequently. I know about
NSSpeechSynthesizer and I have tried it but it doesn't work reliably (I think
the NSSpeechSynthesizer has a memory leak and am in touch with the responsible
Apple engineer via the speech list but in the meantime...). I have also looked
into using an NSPipe but it doesn't seem to add anything.
I think what I want to do is execute the command
ls -f "file" | say
but I can't figure out how to do that. Can someone help me?
