Speech-Synthesis There are all sorts of Speech Synthesis (or Text To Speech) modules on CPAN, supporting all kinds of different Speech APIs. However, each of these modules has its own functions and methods, and writing platform-independent code using these modules is a hell. Therefore Speech::Synthesis provides one API that supports many different speech APIs, like Mac::Speech on OS X, Win32::SAPI4, Win32::SAPI5 and Win32::MSAgent on Win32 platforms, and Festival::Client::Async on all other platforms. You never have to worry about their different ways: just use Speech::Synthesis!
