How to set up TTS in RadioBOSS to announce the currently playing song?

[eLEn]

Hello everyone,

I'm using RadioBOSS Advanced, and I want to set up Text-to-Speech (TTS) to automatically announce the currently playing song (artist and title). I tried using the following command:
say "$artist$ - $title$"
or
say "$nowplaying$"

but instead of reading the actual song title, TTS just says "dollar artist dollar title" out loud.

What works:

• say "The current time is %H:%M" successfully announces the time.
• message "$artist$ - $title$" in the scheduler correctly displays the song title on the screen.

What doesn’t work:

• TTS does not recognize variables ($artist$, $title$) and does not announce the song title.
• say "$nowplaying$" also doesn't work.

I have enabled Metadata Update in the settings and even tried adding a delay (wait 2), but nothing helps.

Does anyone know how to make TTS in RadioBOSS properly read the song title? Thanks in advance!

There are no such variables in RadioBOSS. Please see this page about what variables can be used: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/text-to-speech.htm

Currently there's no easy way to make it say the current artist's name.
