#play(*outputs, options) ⇒ Object

Plays the specified sound file names. This method will handle Time/DateTime objects (e.g. Time.now), Fixnums (e.g. 1000), Strings which are valid Fixnums (e.g “123”), and direct sound files. To specify how the Date/Time objects are said pass in as an array with the first parameter as the Date/Time/DateTime object along with a hash with the additional options. See play_time for more information.

Examples:

Play file hello-world

play 'http://www.example.com/hello-world.mp3'
play '/path/on/disk/hello-world.wav'

Speak current time

play Time.now

Speak today’s date

play Date.today

Speak today’s date in a specific format

play Date.today, :strftime => "%d/%m/%Y", :format => "dmy"
