text to speech - OS agnostic

[Dave Lilley]

Hi folks,

I'm interesting in getting some feeling on how best to approach the
matter of converting text (words) into speech.

I am currently coding on a XP platform in a Linux VM.
I'd prefer the solution to work as well under Mac, Linux and Win.
Or at least know that i have gems to use under each OS.

Question is which one?

await your thought's and suggestions.

It might be best to write an abstraction layer that wraps the OS's
native TTS routines in a generic interface.

await your thought's and suggestions.
