Here's a little alias that allows the computer to speak the current directory that you are in, after you change to that directory;
This requires the NIRCMD.EXE, available from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
Note that if you just type
it will speak the current directory that you are in, without changing the directory.
This was tested in TCC 12, Windows XP Build 2600 Service Pack 3. You will need to have Microsoft Speech installed.
If you have Microsoft Speech installed, you can change the voice that is speaking.
Go into Control Panel, and double-click the Speech Icon.
In the Speech Properties Dialog, click the Text To Speech tab.
On my system, I have three voices;
LH Michael
LH Michelle
Microsoft Sam
You can also adjust the voice speed from here.
