Text to Speech Action

This action plays a verbal message on your computer when fired.

Name. Enter a unique name for this action.
Description. Enter a short description of the action. This is displayed in the Action Library along with the entry in Name.
Speak Rate. Select how fast the voice speaks the message.
Volume. Select the volume of the message.
Message. Enter any text message you want audibly repeated. Your own text can be used in addition to percent variables.

Tip: To check the status of an action, or to cancel an action, or group of actions, on the console go to Tools > Running Actions.

Note: Microsoft Windows Vista operating systems do not interact with services and therefore do not support WhatsUp Gold sound actions and text-to-speech features. You can workaround this issue by running the polling and alerting engine (nmservice.exe) as a process. From the command prompt, enter nmservice.exe /process.
