Text-to-speech

[Charles Hartman]

Does anyone know of a cross-platform (OSX and Windows at least) library 
for text-to-speech? I know  there's an OSX API, and probably also for 
Windows. I know PyTTS exists, but it seems to talk only to the Windows 
engine. I'd like to write a single Python module to handle this on both 
platforms, but I guess I'm asking too much -- it's too hardware 
dependent, I suppose. Any hints?
