Topic: Beeps vs. WAV files

[jwyman]

Just curious, anyone using wav files on their Nexstorm or just the supplied beeps? IF you are using wav files, i'd like to know what wavs you are using.

Just beeps. I think I would go nuts hearing wav files during extreme t-storm activity. The cool thing is you can set the beep and duration to a specified level. Both of mine are set low.

I used http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php for my close storm activity and severe storm cell alert.  I just use beeps only for strike activity within 40 miles.

That is cool. Now I wouldn't mind hearing Crystals voice for my close storm warning. Wonder what she looks like.

Are you kidding!  I use Lauren.

I had my first text-to-speech software/hardware on my Apple ][+ back in the 80s. Ever since, universally, whenever I show someone a demo like this, one of the first things they do is make it swear. It's funnier on the older, more robotic translators.

Well, I can't exactly say I didn't.  My first text-to-speech was a prototype Votrax Type-n-Talk back in the 70's.  We had it connected to a ID-4001 my dad designed while he was at Heathkit.  I still have a Type-n-Talk (production / not wire wrapped) and I hope to get it up and going again some day.  I *love* the sound of the SC-01!  Back then, we had it connected to a Heathkit H-8 that would wake us up in the morning and tell us the current weather.

Has anyone found a way to get the Nexstorm Lite to send a warning to another application.  I thought of intercepting the pc speaker sound and using a third party program or code with visual basic to trigger another applicaiton.  I would even be happy if I could make a dummy file on the hard drive.
