~pcwiz Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 That would be easy. Just open Script Editor from /Applications/AppleScript/ and type this: say "Welcome ATS, have a nice time using me!" You could even modify it to use a different voice than the default "Victoria" voice. You could do this: say "Welcome ATS, have a nice time using me!" using "Zarvox" That would use the Zarvox voice. You can find a complete list of the voices you can use in the /System/Library/Speech/Voices folder. There will be folders like: Zarvox.speechvoice Victoria.speechvoice Bruce.speecvoice And many others. To use one, for example to use Bruce you would do: say "Welcome ATS, have a nice time using me!" using "Bruce" So once you have it like that, go to File >> Save As >> and set the type to "Application Bundle". Now you have a .app file that when you double click on to run, it reads your greeting. Just go into the User Accounts preference pane in System Preferences and set it to run at startup. So when you log in it will say the greeting. Hope it helps! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/111576-greeting/#findComment-791283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
