Say and beep

Let's play two fun things first: Make your Mac pronounce and talk.

Enter the following script in the edit area:

" How is it ? " using " Zarvox " "Fine, thank you.     " using " Victoria " "Ha ha"  beep     

Then click Run (Command + R run, Command +. Stop running)

" What to say " using " designate a person's voice "

The script is meant to let the Mac system say what we have specified in the voice of a designated person. Of course the using "..." can be the default.

Beep Number of voices  

This script means to let the Mac system make a sound, the number of sounds determines the number of times, such as Beep 2 Mac will knock two times. The number of audible hits defaults to 1.

The reply output at run time means:

Tell shows that the tasks above say and beep are delivered to the current application, which is the AppleScript script.

Tell module

Similarly, we can use the Tell module to deliver specific tasks to specific programs in the Mac.

The syntax of the Tell module is:

" Application Name "  <span style="white-space:pre">  </span> do your job here  End   Tell

For example, we want the finder to empty the trash and then open the disk, which can be written like this:

" Finder "       Empty the trash      beep      Open the startup  disk End Tell

Note that the double quotation marks of the "Finder" are necessary.
