OT: weather script

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When looking at the commercially available voices on cepstral.com, I came
across the demo weather voice.  

Before I re-invent the wheel, I was wondering whether a weather script
exits which would speak the weather conditions and/or forecast for a
particular city/zip code. I do this now by going into the
braille.wunderground.com site in lynx, punching in the zipcode, hitting the
submit button and reading the resulting screens.  

What I'm looking for is a shell script which would retrieve the weather and
send it to flite or some other software synth for spoken output.  Once such
a script were developed, a similar thing could be done for, say, stock
quotes.  

I view this as a three step process:
1.   Retrieve the info from the net
2.  edit the results to strip out all the stuff you didn't want to hear,
3.  send the resulting text to festival, flite or a commercial voice.  

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Chris
