Greetings... Morning,Afternoon & Evening?

[shaggy79]

Hi all,
I have been looking all over EG and cant find my answer anywhere...
Is there a way with the 'Speech Plugin' to have my 'PC' Greet me when I turn it on/un-lock.

As in:-
Turn my PC on or un-lock it...
06:00 to 11:59 "Good Morning"
12:00 to 16:59 "Good Afternoon"
17:00 to 22:00 "Good evening"

Cheers Paul.

Just apply the appropriate events in front of this script.

Code: Select all

from datetime import datetime
current = datetime.now().time()
morning = current.replace(hour=6, minute=0, second=0)
afternoon = current.replace(hour=12, minute=0, second=0)
evening = current.replace(hour=17, minute=0, second=0)
if current > morning:
    if current > afternoon:
        if current > evening:
            eg.plugins.Speech.TextToSpeech(u'Microsoft Anna - English (United States)', 0, u'Good evening', 0, 100)
        else:
            eg.plugins.Speech.TextToSpeech(u'Microsoft Anna - English (United States)', 0, u'Good afternoon', 0, 100)
    else:
        eg.plugins.Speech.TextToSpeech(u'Microsoft Anna - English (United States)', 0, u'Good morning', 0, 100)

@ Dragon470,

Thank you VERY Much.
Is there a way to change the voice to 'IVONA 2 Brian - British English Voice'
I have tried writing it in the code you gave me but it just says...
"Voice with name IVONA 2 Brian - British English Voice) is not available".
Is there something else I have to change

Cheers Paul.

I got the voice I wanted to use working, but it still comes up with the same error...
"Voice with name IVONA 2 Brian - British English Voice is not available".
Even though it is using this voice
I have no idea why
Can anyone tell me please

Cheers Paul.
