Applescript Good Morning abort feature

[derekshull]

So I have this really long script and I'm using dragon dictate to trigger the script to activate and the script says good morning and tells me the weather, reads me any new emails, tells me my agenda for today, reads me news headlines from specific rss feeds, and tells me the current time. I'm using a revolabs usb mic to do it and was wondering if there was a way to say "abort" or some other trigger word to stop the computer from mid way through?

It'd be quite helpful.

I would think that your original script is in application form, then you could make another script to quit that application.

I'm confused, what do you mean?

 

[BrianBaughn]

Sorry. Maybe I should get more info...

Did you set up the script? Or the action to make Dragon trigger it? What is the file extension of the script?

Heres the script:

tell application "Mail"
	
	set unreadMessages to (get every message of mailbox "INBOX" of account "Gmail" whose read status is false)
	
	set numberofmessages to (count of (every message of mailbox "INBOX" of account "Gmail" whose read status is false))
	
	if (count of (every message of mailbox "INBOX" of account "Gmail" whose read status is false)) is 1 then
		tell application "Mail"
			say "There is only " & numberofmessages & " new email"
			repeat with eachMessage in unreadMessages
				delay 1
				say "From! "
				say (get sender of eachMessage)
				say "Subject."
				say (get subject of eachMessage)
				say "Message."
				say (get content of eachMessage)
				set read status of eachMessage to true
			end repeat
		end tell
	else if (count of (every message of mailbox "INBOX" of account "Gmail" whose read status is false)) is greater than 1 then
		tell application "Mail"
			say "There are " & numberofmessages & " new messages"
			repeat with eachMessage in unreadMessages
				delay 1
				say "From! "
				say (get sender of eachMessage)
				say "Subject."
				say (get subject of eachMessage)
				say "Message."
				say (get content of eachMessage)
				set read status of eachMessage to true
			end repeat
		end tell
	else
		say "There are no new messages"
	end if
end tell

when I say "read my emails" it reads them to me. What I want is to be able to say "abort" and it'll immediately stop reading me my emails.
