Text-To-Speech
- XML. The Note text can include XML which can be used to instruct the Text-To-Speech engine to change speed, volume, pronunciation, etc. If unsure about the capabilities or the syntax, the following is an XML Text-To-Speech Tutorial (SAPI 5.3):
Be sure to test the XML code before using it in an active alarm. If the XML contains syntax errors or contains SAPI tags that cannot be executed (Ex: Voice not found), AutoHotkey will generate a COM error which will usually stop the script with an error dialog and with a "Continue running script?" prompt.
- Metadata. The Note text can contain date/time metadata which is converted in real-time for the Text-To-Speech engine when the alarm window is displayed. The format is {$Date$X} or {$Time$X} where X is an AutoHotkey date/time format. See the AutoHotkey documentation (keyword: FormatTime) for a list of date/time formats.
Note: If X is blank/null when using the $Date$ key, Ex: {$Date$}, normal formatting rules are observed. However, if X is blank/null when using the $Time$ key, Ex: {$Time$}, the "Time" date/time format is automatically used, i.e. {$Time$Time}. The "Time" format is a time representation for the user's locale, such as 5:26 PM.
A few usage examples:
Today is {$Date$LongDate}.
The time is {$Time$}.
The current month is {$Date$MMMM}.
It is the {$Date$d}th day of the month.
The year is {$Date$yyyy}.
