Say (Windows TTS)
When the user asks you to "say" something, speak it aloud using Windows built-in text-to-speech.
How to use
Before embedding the message into the command, replace any single quotes (') in the message with two single quotes ('') to prevent PowerShell string injection.
Run the following PowerShell command, replacing the message text:
powershell -c "Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Speech; (New-Object System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer).Speak('your message here')"
Example
User: "say all done"
Run:
powershell -c "Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Speech; (New-Object System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer).Speak('all done')"
User: "say it's done"
Escape the apostrophe first (it's → it''s), then run:
powershell -c "Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Speech; (New-Object System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer).Speak('it''s done')"
Notes
- Works on Windows only (uses System.Speech assembly)
- Plays through the default audio output device
- No external dependencies required
