[EchoSide]

Rainmeter itself can't "speak" anything, but you can do it using NirCmd (as one of examples)
here you can read how to set things http://nircmd.nirsoft.net/speak.html

Example

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDownAction=!execute ["#PathToNirCmd#" speak text "Processor temperature is [YourMeasure]" 2 80]

where #PathToNirCmd# is path to NirCmd.exe, where NirCmd installed
ie: C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Addons\NirCmd\nircmd.exe

and
[YourMeasure] is measure of temperature in your skin

[Seahorse]

There's a speaking clock with weather skin which does what you are asking for already. You can examine its code...

Hello one and all thank you for the tips but not queit what im looking for it where good advice but im looking how rainmeter can tell you the temps with out having to excute anything reason why is so you dont have to look at your desktop all the time thanks to the replys tho and im going to try and figure out someway so it does it auto like one hour if i do i post it because it would be awsome to hear it tell your temps and diskspace on the hour or whenever you want

It's rather easy to have a command execute every hour.

Code: Select all

[Variables]
Hour=0
PathToNirCmd=#ADDONSPATH#NirCmd\nircmd.exe

[msHour]
Measure=Time
Format=%#H

[cHourCheck]
Measure=Calc
Formula=msHour<>#Hour#
IfAboveValue=0
IfAboveAction=!Execute [!SetVariable Hour [msHour]]["#PathToNirCmd#" speak text "Processor temperature is [YourMeasure]" 2 80]
DynamicVariables=1

That speaking clock that Seahorse linked to does speak the time and weather at the top of the hour, and can be used as an example to start with.

I use an approach of getting the minutes, and if they are zero, it's on the hour.

Code: Select all

[Variables]
PathToNirCmd=#ADDONSPATH#NirCmd\nircmd.exe

[msMinutes]
Measure=Time
Format=%M

[cHourCheck]
Measure=Calc
Formula=msMinutes
IfEqualValue=0
IfEqualAction=!Execute ["#PathToNirCmd#" speak text "Ding dong!" 2 80]

Hello one and all sorry for the late post thanks for that Smurfier i guess it was easy i couldnt of figured that out so i dont think rainmeter is for me ill just stick with sysmetrix because somethings i dont get in rainmeter like dynamic variables measure=calc and formulas but thanks for the help anyway tho
