I have been searching in this board for any threads concerning TTS but there is not much to find. My HA-server has TTS and this works OK (a women voice....  DUH )
can someone enlighten me about how to use TTS together with GV's ? Second question: Any more ideas regarding TTS. Just speaking GV's like Temperature and audible warnings is simple to program...

I'm not sure what you are asking. If speaking GV's like temp and warnings are simple, it sounds like you are doing it already. Are you looking for other ideas?
If so, here is a formula that I use in a Timed Event on the night before trash day:
Code:
| ph_playsound( "attention.wav", 0) + ph_tts("Take out the trash and recycling bin.") |

yes, all temperatures are spoken already, so that is no problem, but what should I do if a GV contains AND text as well as numeric values, lets say a GV within a GV?
I have a firalarm in PH and I have been programming audible warnings in case of fire or carbon-monoxide....
Other Ideas are welcome as well...

hey that is neat! i'd have to make a macro which has a span of 2 weeks... in my village, in an odd weeknumber the house-hold-trash is collected and in an even weeknumber the other is collected (you know: like left over diners, weeds from the garden, eggshells, potatopeelings and stuff....) how many minutes are there in 2 weeks?

GV's within GV's should be no problem. GV substitution will substitute the first GV and then search and substitute the next GV, etc. up until the "Maximum variable substitution limit". Depending upon which speech engine you are using (Microsoft Mary, AT&T, Nextup, Cepstral, etc.) will determine how numbers mixed with text will be spoken. For example, some engines may speak 456 as four five six while others will do four hundred fifty six.

Well, i think I know why Mary Spoke to me: "Exclamation Mark"  In the GV within the GV there was text AND an ! and this was due to a typo in the formula which created the GV... 
And for your 2nd remark: Mary speaks the full temperature so when it is 20.9 degrees she wispers  to me:
"the temperature is twenty-comma-nine degrees" so I think that is OK...
The only thing left for me to do is to have the computerspeakers to be heard in the livingroom and the bedrooms. I think I am going to do that with wireless-loudspeakers.... I could also use a TV-modulator and put the VGA-signal together with the sound onto my cable so I can view the PH-status-screen anywhere in the house on any TV...
