I know you can't access vo preferences. However, open up Script Editor, go to
file > open dictionary, and select vo's dictionary. In there is the "output"
commnd in which I am very interested. I differs from the "say" script command
in that it will use the vo configuration to speak, not any para
Hi Alex,
This is a late reply, but I'll just add to what Chris described. You
cannot access any of the default VO settings when you use the "say"
command. Also, although you can use all of the embedded speech
commands (described in the link to the Developer's Document that Chris
gave you) as par
Ahh, I guess I missed the point that you wanted to use their default VO
settings. Not sure there is a way to do that unless you pull their
preferences and use the same ones for your speech. Not that there is
also a set of commands to give in-text directives so you can do
say "[[pbas 50;rate 50
Yes you could, but what if the user's voice is not what I set? I don't want
this for just me, it has to work for anyone who uses the package. Interfacing
directly with vo is the only way to do that.

I guess since I don't know Applescript I keep going to the shell. You
can set the rate and voice for the say command using various flags:
say -v Bruce "help" -r 400
So wouldn't you be able to do something like
os.system("say -v Bruce 'help' -r 400")

Yes, like this:
import os
os.system("""osascript 'say "hello"'""")
The problem is that say does not honor vo settings. For instance, vo uses
Serena on my system, but my default voice is Alex, so I know the difference
(particularly helpful in chess). I want to use vo itself so that all settings

Can you use Python to execute shell scripts? Then you could invoke
say "sometext" to get your speech output from Python.

Hi all,
I'd like to use osascript to tell vo to output text, which would be part of a
python module. Long story short, can someone provide a quick example of the
exact syntax? I thought it might be:
osascript tell voiceover to output "hello world"
but I'm guessing at punctuation and exact wording
