Here's an example, which uses the speak comman from eSpeak:
on mouseUp
put fld 1 into myText
put "/usr/local/bin/speak -ven+f3" && quote & myText & quote && "-w
~/desktop/text.wav" into myScript
get shell(myScript)
end mouseUp
You may want to remove quotes from the source text. I had to use the full path
to the cli, but if you install it properly, this shouldn't be necessary.
You can also use Mac OS X's say command:
say -o ~/desktop/text2.wave --file-format=m4af 'hello world'
The possible formats are m4af, caff, AIFF and WAVE. For me, all these formats
work, except for WAVE.
