Once a alarm is set in Ignition is it possible for a voice message to be played on the speakers that are attached to the computer? šŸ˜† ---

Of course you can! Take a look at the [Sound Player component](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC79/Sound+Player) ---

Did any of you play around with this? I have a similar use for this. Essentially our widget factory is converting from an old analog radio comms system to a new digital one. Where Maintenance/Engineering/Management/TechSupport/Materials/Quality/etcā€¦etcā€¦have radios strapped on and use to communicate as a team. The old analog radio system will be going away. What was used back then for alarming was a system called Ztron-----[http://www.zetron.com/en-us/products/remotemonitoring/m1516alarmreporter.aspx](http://www.zetron.com/en-us/products/remotemonitoring/m1516alarmreporter.aspx) I would like to interface a PC to the new radio system where the mic is keyed up by ignition then the alarm is played through ā€œsalliā€ then ignition releases the mic key. This thread has me thinkingā€¦Looking for feedbackā€¦ How did any of you make use of thisā€¦?? ---

So the sound player needs wave filesā€¦Anyone have a demo of how to make the speech engine do this? ---

I was at v7.2 at the time. All the recording was done by yours truly using Audacity. I didnā€™t go to far with it. But it is fun to signal the end of a cycle with a Star Trek door chimeā€¦ šŸ˜† Now that Iā€™ve finally gotten to 7.6, with 7.7 on the very near horizon, Iā€™m hoping to get back into it a bit moreā€¦ Sorry I canā€™t be more help, yet. ā˜¹ ---

Recording a .wav file is easy enough and using ignition to trigger it was great; but thatā€™s not what I was looking for. I want access to the speech engine in the voice notification module. In theory I will need to record several hundred alarms to programmatically use the radio alerting. Thus rendering the voice alerting module a bad investment if I cant access ā€œscripting to speechā€ through the speakers. I have to be missing something. If the voice notification is only for voip I sure do not need to purchase itā€¦May the force be with us!! ---

It was just a link to the online documentation. The link above has been updated. Again, this just plays a wav file. Thereā€™s no text-to-speech stuff going on. Alternatively, Iā€™ve also posted items on how to play an mp3 file [here.](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/play-an-mp3-file-yes-yes-you-can/15219?u=jordancclark)
