Hi,
You can use this script:
----------------------------
set oldCurrentTemperature to 40
repeat
tell application "WeatherCat" to set currentTemperature to ExternalTemp
if oldCurrentTemperature is not currentTemperature then
say "Current temperature is " & my limitDec(currentTemperature as string, 1) -- 1 decimal
set oldCurrentTemperature to currentTemperature
end if
delay 60
end repeat
on limitDec(t, numOfDec)
set localDecimalSep to character 2 of (0 as real as text)
set n to the offset of localDecimalSep in t
if n = 0 or n + numOfDec > (length of t) then return t
return text 1 thru (n + numOfDec) of t
end limitDec

Thanks. Works perfectly. I get a 1 decimal response now instead of decimal out to 10 places!
Never would have figured out your script

I have a script that speaks the temperature from WeatherCat app. How do I limit the number of decimal points it speaks?
